Tooth structure is conserved by using the following guidelines
1. Use of partial coverage rather than complete coverage restoration
2. Preparation of teeth with minimum practical convergence angle (taper) between axial walls
3. Preparation of the occlusal surface so that reduction follows the anatomic planes to give uniform thickness in the restoration
4. Preparation of the axial wall so tooth structure is removed evenly if necessary teeth should be orthodontically positioned
5. selection of conservative margin compatible with other principles of tooth preparation
Preservation of tooth structure
· Histologic studies showed that specimen with dentin thickness greater than 2 mm demonstrated very little or no pulp response , while when cutting was done within 1.5mm of the pulp, 23%of teeth developed an abscess

Also you should be careful about:1- Adjacent tooth
- by using matrix band of the adjacent tooth
- cutting in the enamel of prepared tooth with
fine tapered stone
2- Soft tissues
- by using mirror or the flange of saliva ejector
RETENTION FORM· The feature of a tooth preparation
that resists dislodgement of a crown in a vertical direction or along the path of placement.
RESISTANCE FORM· The features of a tooth preparation that
enhance the stability of restoration and resist dislodgement along an axis other than the path of placement
· It prevents dislodgement of a restoration by forces directed in an apical, oblique or horizontal direction.
Retention and resistance
1. Total occlusal convergence2. Length of preparation3. Diameter 4. Ratio of occlusocervical to
faciolingual dimension 5. Circumfencial morphology 6. Auxiliary retentive features 7. Cements
Factors that may create greater total occlusal convergence
1. Posterior teeth are prepared with greater total occlusal convergence than anterior teeth
2. Mandibular teeth were prepared with greater convergence than maxillary teeth
3. Faciolingual surfaces had greater convergence than mesiodistal surfaces.
4. Abutments of fixed partial denture usually prepared with greater total occlusal convergence
5. Monocular vision created greater total occlusal convergence than binocular vision
Parallel walls are impossible to create in the mouth without producing preparation undercuts.
The axial walls of the preparationmust taper slightly to permit the restoration to seat.
· A tapered diamond or bur will impart an inclination of 2 to 3 degrees to any surface it cuts if the shank of the instrument is held parallel to the intended path of insertion of the preparation.
· Ideal convergence angle of 4-10° is seldom achieved
· Mack estimates that a minimum taper of 12 degrees is necessary Just to insure the absence of undercuts.
· A taper or total convergence of 16 degrees has been proposed as being achievable clinically while still affording adequate retention. It can be as low as 10 degrees on preparations anterior teeth and as high as 22 degrees on molars
· Resistance is more sensitive than retention to changes in convergence angle
· As a rule we will go for the minimal tapering without having undercuts in the preparation
SURFACE AREA VS. RETENTION
Provided the restoration has limited path of withdrawal, the greater the surface area of a preparation, the greater is its retention.
Length….. Crowns with long axial walls are more retentive…
Molar crowns are more retentive than premolar crowns of same taper
The longer the occluso-gingival height, the more the surface area.
The more diameter of prepared teeth, the more the surface area.
Length of preparation vs. resistance· Because the axial wall occlusal to the finish
line interferes with displacement, the length and inclination of that wall become factors in resistance to tipping forces.
· The shorter the wall, the more important its inclination
· The walls of shorter preparations should have as little taper a possible to increase the resistance.
Width of prep. vs resistance· A narrow tooth can have greater
resistance to tipping.· The preparation on the smaller tooth will
have a short rotational radius for the arc of displacement, and the incisal portion of the axial wall will resist displacement.
· The longer rotational radius on the larger preparation allows for a more gradual arc of displacement, and the axial wall does not resist removal
· Parker et al found that approximately 95% of anterior preparations analyzed had resistance form, while only 46% of those on molars did.
· Resistance to displacement for a short-walled preparation on a large tooth can be improved by placing grooves in the axial walls.
· In effect, this reduces the rotational radius, and that portion of the walls of the grooves near the occlusal surface of the preparation will interfere with displacement
Ratio of occlusocervical to faciolingual dimension
· The longer the faciolingual dimension of prepared molars compared with other teeth and shorter occlusogingival dimension compared with anterior teeth produce a lower ratio and lower resistance to dislodgment of molar crown
· Weed and Baez recommended that the occlusocervical / faciolingual ratio should be 0.4 mm or higher for all teeth
STRESS CONCENTRATION
· If line angle between axial and occlusal surface is sharp, it leads to concentration of stresses around that junction
· Induced stresses exceeds the strength of the cement
· Leads to cohesive failure of cement
TYPE OF RESTORATION VS RETENTION
· Full veneer crown has excellent retention when compared to partial veneer crown because reducing the path of insertion to a narrow range.
TYPE OF RESTORATION VS RESISTANCE
· Partial coverage restoration may have less resistance than a complete crown because it has no buccal resistance area
Surface Roughness
· Adhesion of dental cements depends primarily on projections of the cement into microscopic irregularities.
· Jorgensen found retention of castings cemented with ZnPO4 cement on test dies with a 10° taper to be twice as great on preparations with 40µm scratches than 10µm.
· Retention increases when restoration is roughened or grooved
Materials being cemented vs retention· Retention is affected by both the casting
alloy and the core material. · More reactive the alloy is more adhesion.· Base metal alloys are better retained
than less reactive high gold content metals.
· Type of luting agent: Studies show that adhesive resin cements are more retentive than conventional ZnPO4 and GIC cements
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF LUTING AGENT VS RESISTANCE
· Resistance to deformation is affected by physical properties of the luting agent, such as compressive strength and modulus of elasticity
· Adhesive resin >GIC > ZnPO4> Polycarboxylate > ZOE
· Secondary retentive features does not significantly affect the retention because the surface area is not increased significantly.
· But where these features limits the path of withdrawal, retention is increased
· Kent et al reported a marked difference between the degree of taper of full crown preparations (18.4 to 22.2 degrees) and that of boxes and grooves in the axial surfaces of those preparations (7.3 degrees).
· Kent et al found that grooves and boxes had less convergence than the convergence of the axial wall to enhance resistance
Circumferential morphology · Pyramidal tooth
preparations provided increased resistance because they had corners when compared with conical preparation. So it is important to preserve facioproximal and linguoproximal corners of tooth preparation
· Prepared mandibular molars are rectangular while maxillary molars are rhomboidal and premolars and anterior teeth possess an oval form
Path of Insertion
· It is an imaginary line along which the restoration will be placed onto or removed from the preparation.
· It is of special importance when preparing teeth to be fixed partial denture abutments, since the paths of all the abutment preparations must parallel each other.
The path of insertion must be considered in two dimensions:· Faciolingually: the faciolingual
orientation of the path can affect the esthetics of metal-ceramic or partial veneer crowns.
· Mesiodistally
Structural durability
· A restoration must have sufficient strength to prevent permanent deformation during function
· “The ability of a restoration to withstand destruction due to external forces “
Structural durability
· Adequate tooth reduction- occlusal reduction - functional cusp bevel - axial reduction
· Alloy selection· Metal-ceramic framework design· Margin design
Occlusal reduction
· Zurcherman has shown that the placement of inclined planes on occlusal surfaces of a crown preparation rather than flat surface increases resistance form
Functional cusp bevel
· This includes wide bevel on the lingual surface inclines of maxillary lingual cusps and buccal inclines of mandibular buccal cusps, this will provide space for adequate bulk of metal in an area of heavy occlusal contact
Biologic widthIt is the dimension of space that the healthy gingival tissues occupy above the alveolar bone. It refers to the combined connective tissue-epithelial attachment from the crest of the alveolar bone to the base of the sulcus (2mm;connective tissue-1.07mm and epithelium-0.97mm).
Evaluation of the biological width by radiographs, probing, and sounding of bone
Where to place subgingival margin ?
· Wearhang reported that a conventional tooth brush could remove plaque only to a point 0.5mm subgingivally, so it is important to ensure that restorations are placed no deeper than 0.5mm into sulcus when this is possible
· It is generally taught that the gingival margin should never enter the sulcus by more than half the depth of the sulcus. In the average case this equals a depth of 1.0 mm or less, with less being favored
Where to place subgingival margin ?
· No margin should be placed nearer than 0.5 to 1.0 mm from the attachment area in healthy sulcus
· Some authors suggested that restorative margins should end 3-4 mm coronal to the alveolar crest, they assumed the biologic width is 2mm and additional 1mm will keep the margin 1mm above the coronal extent of junctional epithelium
· Gingival attachment is more reliable reference point than marginal gingiva
Where to place subgingival margin ?
Technique
· Packing a small length of retraction cord in the area of the sulcus to receive the subgingival margin works very well.
· Make a mental note of the relative relationship of the free gingival margin and roughed-in finish line prior to packing the cord. Even small cords often achieve remarkable gingival retraction. You may not need to place the margin as far apically as the level of the cord.
Technique
· The lingual and approximately half of the interproximal margins should remain supragingival (if possible).
· The labial and labial one-half of the interproximal margins are brought down to or near the level of the retraction cord.
· Be specifically aware of keeping the interproximal margin subgingival until it will no longer be visible when viewed at an angle. This is a frequent area of margin visibility, especially for porcelain veneers.
oD.A. Orkin et al and J.Valderhang et al found out that there was significant difference in bleeding between the subgingival crowns and contralateral teeth without crowns but the difference was negligible with supragingival crowns
· Hatchy J. Sttler concluded that in the presence of subgingival restoration, the degree of gingival inflammation is significantly greater in association with narrow (less than 2mm ) zones of keratinized gingiva than with those greater than 2mm
The extent of disease depends on:· contour of restoration, · relative position of cervical
margin, · precision of fit, · restorative material used
Marginal contours : Lang et al reported that overhanging margin not only accumulate more plaque but the plaque undergoes a change in composition to that usually associated with destructive periodontitisSurface roughness :Donnan and Princeevaluated the plaque accumulation in metal
ceramic restoration and discovered the order of decreasing plaque accumulation:
Aluminum oxide (greatest), opaque porcelain, polished metal, glazed porcelain (least)
In term of smoothness (generally):glazed porcelain > gold > polished amalgam
>compositeMarginal fit : the severity of periodontal disease was elevated with greater subgingival marginal discrepancy
Surgical crown lengthening of crown is necessary if restorative margin would terminate at or below alveolar crest
If restorative margin would terminate at or below alveolar crest surgical lengthening of crown is necessary , the procedure involves reflection of full thickness flap to expose alveolar crest around the teeth in question, the distance from the bone crest to margin of tooth preparation can be measured with periodontal probe, the distance should be 3-4 mm if the bony crest is not reduced. At least 6-8 weeks must elapse to allow for proper healing.
The margin design depends on:
· type of restoration ,· tooth morphology, · position and alignment of the teeth
in the arch, · esthetics
Guidelines for margin design
· Ease of preparation without overextension or unsupported enamel
· Ease of identification in the impression and on the die· A distinct boundary to which wax pattern can be finished· Conservation of tooth structure· Sufficient bulk of material for esthetic and strength of the
restoration.· The most important consideration in selecting a cervical
margin design is its ability to consistently and predictably provide excellent marginal integrity.
The shoulderless (featheredge) margin
· Conservation of the tooth structure · Permits an acute margin of the metal· Insufficient removal of tooth structure at
cervical area. (Results in overcontouring )· Impossible to identify the margin of prep.· No control over reduction of cervical tooth
structure· No control in placem. of subgingival margin· Poor resistance to marginal distortion during
firing of porcelain to the gold alloy.· difficult to accurately wax and cast · more susceptible to distortion in the mouth
when the casting is subjected to occlusal forces
Indications for featheredge
· Not recommended· It may have to be
used on the lingual surface of mandibular posterior teeth,
· On teeth with very convex axial surfaces, and on the surface toward which a tooth may have tilted.
· Could be Used for the full metal crown prep
The shoulder (Butt joint) margin
· Adequate
removal of tooth structure at cervical area.
· It is possible to identify the margin of prep.
· Good control over reduction of cervical tooth structure
The shoulder (Butt joint) margin· Control in
placem.of subgingival margin
· Adequate resistance to marginal distortion during firing of porcelain to the metal alloy.
· It does require the destruction of more tooth structure than any other finish line.
The shoulder (Butt joint) margin· Finish line of choice for the all-ceramic
crown and porcelain labial margin· The wide ledge provides resistance to
occlusal forces and minimizes stresses that might lead to fracture of the porcelain. It produces the space for healthy restoration contours and maximum esthetics.
The shoulder (Butt joint) margin· The sharp, 90-degree
internal line angle associated with the classic variety of this finish line concentrates stress in the tooth and is conducive to coronal fracture.
The radial shoulder
· A modified form of shoulder finish line· A small-radius rounded internal angle is
instrumented by an end-cutting parallel sided carbide finishing bur, and finishing is completed with a specially modified bin-angle chisel.
· The cavosurface angle is 90 degrees, and shoulder width is only lessened by the rounded internal angle.
135 sloping shoulder
Very useful preparation to use where the labial shoulder for MC crowns is extending well into the root face, e.g. canines with marked gingival recession. The finishing line can be placed sub-gingivally and the axio-gingival floor line angle left at a higher level.
135 sloping shoulder
· provides for more conservative preparation especially in root surface
· it requires metal collar· porcelain butt margin is not recommended with the sloping shoulder
The shoulder-bevel· It is obtained by preparing
shoulder at the height of healthy gingival margin, then adding 0.5-1.25 mm bevel.
· It has the same advantages of straight shoulder with optimum opportunity of marginal fit provided by the bevel
· The beveling removes unsupported enamel, may allow some finishing of the metal, & minimize margin discrepency….
· Used for ceramo-metal, full metal
· This design can also be used for the facial finish line of metal-ceramic restorations where gingival esthetics are not critical. It can be used in those situations where a shoulder is already present, either because of destruction by caries or the presence of previous restorations.
· It is also a good finish line for preparations with extremely short walls, since it facilitates axial walls that are nearly parallel.
A shoulder or sloped shoulder is preferred to shoulder with bevel for ceramometal restorations due to biological & esthetic considerations (the metal margin can be thinned to a knife edge & hidden in the sulcus without the need for positioning the margin closer to the epithelial attachment)
Chamfer Conservative
type when compared with shoulder finish line.
control over reduction of cervical tooth structure,
control in placem.of subgingival margin
Chamfer
· Margin of prep.is distinct
· Degree of marginal distortion during firing of porcelain directly related to the thickness of metal at the margin
Chamfer· The preferred gingival
finish line for full veneer metal restoration and the metal only portion of MC crown
Chamfer
· Porcelain margin is not recommended because it will lack mechanical resistance and depth of translucency
Heavy chamafer· A heavy chamfer is used to provide a 90-degree
cavosurface angle with a large-radius rounded internal angle
· It is created with a round-end tapered diamond.
· In the hands of an unskilled operator, this instrument can create an undesirable fragile "lip" of enamel at the cavosurface.
· The heavy chamfer provides better support for a ceramic crown than does a conventional chamfer, but it is not as good as a shoulder.
Metal collar
Advantages :1. good marginal seal2. preservation of periodontal health3. rigidity during cementation4. wide facial metal collar (.8mm) gives
sufficient rigidity against distortion caused by porcelain shrinkage in comparison of the feather edge collar
5. can be used with any of the finish lines described previously
Disadvantages :
1. difficult to conceal in a shallow crevice or with a thin translucent gingival margin
2. they display in case of gingival recession
3. display of metal becomes very clear with high lip line
Metal feather–edge (Disappearing margin)
· Reduction of the labial metal collar has been described as: feather – edge , triangular formation , hairline collar .
· The metal and opaque layer porcelain meet simultaneously on the external edge of the tooth preparation
· Shoulder preparation is needed for this design to provide rigidity of metal in the cervical area
Disadvantages : 1. the design is technique sensitive and
difficult to achieve without overcontouring the cervical aspect or exposing opaque layer
2. difficult finishing and polishing , microscopically the surface remains rough
3. marginal adaptation after porcelain firing is subject to some distortion ,
Porcelain marginAdvantages:
1. esthetic improvement because of :
a. facial metal collar elimination
b. depth in cervical translucency
c. possibility of light transmission
through the root area
2. less plaque accumulation than metal because of low adhesive forces between plaque and ceramics
· porcelain margin is used with shoulder finish line (1.2mm wide ) internally rounded at a 90-100 angle to root surface with regular and smooth outline
· chamfer and sloping shoulder finish lines are contraindicated with porcelain margin because :
a. porcelain margin would be very thin and prone
to chipping
b. difficult to achieve satisfactory marginal
adaptation because porcelain shrinkage occurs
toward the greatest bulk during firing
Porcelain construction :· various techniques of porcelain margin
construction have been described using :
platinum matrix , refractory dies , separating varnish , wax, or resin binders
· with conventional porcelain margin materials rounded edges with rough and heterogeneous surfaces were more likely to occur using direct lift off technique than platinum matrix substrates
For all metal restorations, chamfer finish line are frequently used the advantages of chamfer finish line
1. They produce the less stress and marginal opening of metal
2. They are easy to form with a tapered round end diamond instrument
3. They posses adequate bulk for restoration4. They are visible on prepared teeth 5. Their depth is sufficient to permit the
concept of normal axial contour .

Common Faults in Preparation· Insufficient removal of buccal or labial enamel
particularly at the labio-incisal one-third of the preparation
· Insufficient removal of occlusal enamel in posterior teeth particularly at the cusp tips
· Insufficient removal of lingual enamel which may force the ceramist to widen his occlusal table or reduce the gold coping thickness which can increase the risk of metal deformation.
Common Faults in Preparation· Failure to round off all internal line and point
angles, thereby creating stress concentration areas which may cause “pop-off” of the porcelain veneer.
· Flattening occlusal tables in the preparation instead of following the line of the cusp angles.
· Inadequate removal of approximal enamel, particularly on the front teeth, leaving insufficient space for metal and porcelain at the cervical third of the tooth.
Some guidelines for preparing teeth for metal ceramic complete crown:· The total occlusal convergence
should range between 10 and 20 degrees.
· The minimal occlusocervical dimension of molars should be 4 mm when prepared with 10 to 20 degrees total occlusal convergence.
· Many molars need auxiliary grooves or boxes to enhance resistance form.
· Axial grooves/boxes should be used routinely with mandibular molars .
· When tooth conditions and esthetics permit, finish lines should be located supragingivally.
· Check the sub-gingival margins for any deposits of calculus. These must be removed prior to taking the impression. In particular, calculus in the approximal regions is much more easily removed at the time of crown preparation and often can be present despite careful pre-operative prophylaxis.
· Immediate dentine sealing of prepared teeth with a dentine bonding agent (DBA) removes the smear layer, seals patent dentine tubules, halts bacterial ingress, reduces postoperative sensitivity and results in superior bonding of the definitive restoration when using a resin-based cement.
