strict
20

21
Q

Q
T/F The shapes of teeth after their prep influence their retention form
A
t
23
Q
What shapes have been retention/resistance form
A
teeth with corners (molars) not the conical or circular teeth the circular teeth should employ grooves and boxes (Thus it is important to preserve the natural circumference morphology of the teeth)
24
Q
Grooves and boxes when prepped ususally have (greater/less) TOC than their axial walls
A
less- thus more resistance form
25
rooves and boxes are most routinely prepped for what teeth in the mouth and why
mandibular molars because they has short OC height, worst OC/FL ratio, porepped with greatest TOC (worse than maxillary moalrs) etc
