How much reduction do we do for an MCC
Buccal: 1.2-1.5mm
Occlusal: 1.5-2.5mm
Lingual: 0.5mm
How much reduction do we do for an ACC
Buccal: 1mm
Occlusal: 1.5-2mm
Lingual: 1mm
What are the advantages of a crown
- Protects severely broken down teeth
- Protects remaining tooth tissue
- Improves aesthetic
- Can last longer than direct restorations
- Can be placed on a root filled tooth
- Can be used to replace heavily restored teeth
What are the disadvantages of a crown
- High biological
- Demanding and easy to mess up
- Difficult to get aesthetics right
- May take several appointments
5, Stripping of enamel can lead to dentine sensitivity

For a patient with group function which crown would you recommend and why
FVC is better as patients with group function will grind on their back teeth and metal is kinder to opposing teeth
What are the 4 stages of treatment planning
- Establishing a healthy oral environment
2, Corrective - Advanced treatment
- Replace missing teeth
What is an indirect restoration
A restoration that isn not paced directly in the mouth
Hive examples of indirect restorations
Crowns
Veneers
Onlays
Inlays
Why. might we choose t place an indirect restoration over a direct one
- Comfort
- Function (indirect restorations are stronger)
- Stability
What must we do to the tooth before placing an indirect restoration
We must prep it to make space
Why do we need to prepare a tooth for an indirect restoration
To create room for an indirect restoration to sit
What must we make sure our preparation doesn’t have?
An undercut
What can happen if our preparation has an undercut
Then the crown will be vulnerable to cracking and breaking off
How can we correct any undercuts we may create on our preparation
We may need to full the space with lining/ filling material
What are the problems associated with under preparing a tooth
- Bulbosity will be seen at that portion of the tooth (PRF)
- There won’t be enough space for the porcelain and metal
- Can put stress on the crown increasing the risk of fracture
What are the problems associated with over preparing a tooth
Can expose/ damage the pulp
What does retention prevent
It prevents the removal of the crown along the path of insertion
What does resistance prevent
It prevents dislodgement by lateral or apical forces under occlusal load
