what does an MCC crown combine elements of
CVC and ACC
where to reduce more or less for an MCC crown
more reduction where ceramic will be placed
less where metal only will be placed
how do you ensure good esthetics on a MCC
substantial tooth reduction
minimal metal thickness on a MCC anterior corwn
.5mm at edge
.3mm at facial
1mm at lingual
Minimal metal thickness on a MCC posterior crown
.3mm at buccal
.8-1.2 mm at central groove
1.3-1.7mm at functional tip
.6 mm at the lingual
what are the consequences of under prepping an MCC
Opaque looking crown
Over contoured gingival margin
Minimal porcelain thickness for an anterior crown
- 2mm facial
1. 5 mm incisally
Minimal porcelain thickness for a posterior crown
- 2mm facial
1. 3-1.7 at facial cusp tip
what happens if you don’t correctly shape the second facial plane
opaque looking crown
over contoured gingival margin
Bulls-eye opaque area on incisal 1/3
how thick overal should an MCC crown be
1.5mm for porcelain/metal areas
1.2mm for porcelain
.3mm for` metal
how should the cavosurface margin look on the facial for a MCC
Porcelain Labial margin (90 degrees) Slopped shoulder (120 degrees)
what should the cavosurface margin look on the lingual side of the cavosurface margin
Chamfer (.5mm)
why is the sloped shoulder important
Allows for metal to come right to the cavosurface margin
what finish line is used for metal crown
Knife (feather edge)
Chamfer
what finish line is used for MCC (PFM)
Sloped shoulder
Shoulder
Beveled shoulder
when is a knife (feather) edge useful
Very subgingival margins
what is a porcelain butt margin
A porcelain labial margin of 90 degrees
what is a conventional margin
Sloped shoulder (120 degrees)
what to use to achieve uniform tooth reduction
Guide groves
Depth grooves
Precision reduction indicators
how should the labia be reduced
two plane redction (1.3-1.5mm)
how should the lingual be reduced
1mm
chamfer on the lingual
.5mm
why does lipping occur
when the chamfer diamond is used at more than 1/2 depth
how to identify lipping
Visual and tactile
