10 crown on a patient is PFM. It looks longer than #7. All of the following maybe the
reason why the crown looks like this, except?
– Incorrect shade.
– insufficient tooth prep
– too think metal
– too thick porcelain
incorrect shade

high contact,
inadequate design
inadequate design
What prevents lingual displacement of a ¾ crown?
a. lingual wall of grooves
b. facial wall of grooves
c. facial aspect of prep
a. lingual wall of grooves
Most important dimension that ensures the metal connector between abutment and
pontic is sufficient (in 3-unit fpd bridge)?
-buccolingual
-occlusogingival
-Mesiodistal
occlusogingival
How do you decrease the width of an artificial tooth? Deepen the facial line angle proximally and increase the interproximal embrasure, Deepen the facial line angle proximally and decrease interproximal embrasure, take the facial line angle labially and increase the interproximal embrasure, take the facial line angle labially and decrease the interproximal
embrasure.
take the facial line angle labially and increase the interproximal embrasure
The strength of soldered connector of FPD in enhanced? 1. Using higher carat solder, 2.
Increasing height , 3. Increasing width, 4. Increasing gap
increase height
key vs keyway: which one is on pontic and which one is on abudment?
Key is within pontic
keyway is within retainer
What is an active screw (post) vs. inactive post?
An active post is one that engages (screws into) the dentin in the canal space. Traditionally, the major
concern about active posts has been the potential for vertical fracture of the tooth during placement of the
post. active posts are indicated when the canal length is insufficient to gain adequate retention with a
passive post
Most important when selecting shade? value, transluceny, chroma,
concentration, and hue, color .
value

value
When you add a different color to a resin, you increase what? Hue? Value? Chroma?
chroma

hue
what is best way to determine value:
- open eye as wide as you can,
- arrange the shade guide in increasing value
