Metal framework stops at the base of
RM pad. No metal on ramp

Lingual plate
above cingulum to HOC on bicuspid. PLate must end on a rest - depth depends on tongue. 4mm below FGM preferably
When cutting, do
guide planes 1st, undercuts 2nd, occlusal rest 3rd - #8 1/2 depth of bur for occlusal rest
Occlusal rest
rounded triangle outline - 1/3rd facial lingual width, 1/2 width between cusps, 1.5mm deep for metal, floor inclines apically toward tooth center. Goes up to1mm. Use number 8 bur.
Cingulum rest
inverted V or U. MD width 2.5 to 3mm. Labiolingual width 2mm. Incisal apical depth 1.5mm. Loweer anteriors frequently don’t have enough enamel. Use 37 bur. Bicuspids preferred in mandible.
Incisal rest
rounded notch at an incisal angle. 2.5mm wide, 1.5mm deep. Usually used as indirect retainer, less favorable mechanical leverage than cingulum rest.
