restoration need only be .5 mm in thickness (as gold is very strong), and therefore, a minimum of only .5 mm of space needs to be made for the crown to be placed. If porcelain is to be applied to the gold crown, an additional minimum of 1 mm of tooth structure needs to be removed to allow for a sufficient thickness of the porcelain to be applied, thus bringing the total tooth reduction to minimally 1.5 mm. For porcelain or ceramic crowns the amount of tooth reduction is 2 mm. For metal, it is 1 mm.

belief, endodontically treated teeth are not brittle after being devitalized according to the following study -CM Sedglay & Messer 1992 Journal of
Endodontics. Contrary to what some dentists believe, a bevel is not suitable for implementing the ferrule effect, and a beveled tooth structure may not be included in the 2 mm of required tooth structure for a ferrule.
351:. This margin will be the future continual line of tooth-to-restoration contact and should be a smooth, well-defined delineation so that the restoration, no matter how it is fabricated, can be properly adapted and not allow for any openings visible to the naked eye. An acceptable distance from the tooth margin to the restoration margin is anywhere from 40 to 100

need to remake the restoration if an abutment screw or prosthetic screw loosens. This eliminates the potential complications associated with excess residual cement—often difficult to completely remove with a cement-retained crown. The screw-retained restoration lacks glue and hence is preferable for the health of the gingiva and the implant.

restorations and the possibility to build an aesthetic-looking tooth. The concepts utilised to select the suitable repair, as with any dental restoration, include consideration of the materials to be used, the level of tooth destruction, the orientation and placement of the tooth, and the condition of neighboring teeth.
569:
One, the restoration is cemented to an abutment that is screw retained. If the abutment screw becomes loose the final restoration cannot be removed without destroying it in many instances. This results in a remake and increased cost. Two, excess cement along the implant surface can potentially act as

An inlay is a restoration that lies within the confines of the cusps. These restorations are considered to be more conservative than onlays or crowns because less tooth structure is removed in preparation for the restoration. They are usually used when tooth destruction is less than half the distance

The tooth-to-restoration margin is an unsightly thing to have exposed on the visible surface of a tooth when the tooth exists in the aesthetic zone of the smile. In these areas, the dentist places the margin as far apical (towards the root tip of the tooth) as possible, even below the gumline, though

This does not exist in common fixed prosthodontics on teeth. As a result, any complication with the restoration is easily addressed. The screw-retained restoration can be easily removed which allows to repair or examine the soft tissue and direct visualization of the implant. This also negates the

A veneer is a thin layer of restorative material placed over a tooth surface, either to improve the esthetics of a tooth or to restore a damaged tooth surface. Materials used for veneers may include composite and porcelain. In some cases, removal of tooth structure is needed to provide sufficient

when attached to the broomstick, the crown should envelop a certain height of tooth structure to properly protect the tooth from fracture after being prepared for a crown. This has been established through multiple experiments as a mandatory continuous circumferential height of 2 mm; any less

The prepared tooth also needs to possess a certain degree of taper to allow for the restoration to be properly placed on the tooth. There can be no undercuts on the surface of the prepared tooth, as the restoration will not be able to be removed from the die or fit on the tooth (see explanation of

A large amount of tooth structure is removed irreversibly during crown preparation. All restorations have impaired structural and functional integrity when compared to healthy, natural tooth structures. As a result, if a dental practitioner does not recommend it, crowning a tooth is probably not a

When preparing a tooth for a crown, the preparation should, ideally, exist entirely in the enamel. As elaborated below, the amount of tooth structure required to be removed will depend on the material(s) being used to restore the tooth. If the tooth is to be restored with a full gold crown, the

problems may arise when placing the margin too subgingivally (below the gumline). There may be issues in terms of capturing the margin in an impression to make the stone model of the prepared tooth (see stone model replication of tooth in photographs, above). Another important consideration is

who have completed training in this specialty that has been recognized by academic institutes. Fixed prosthodontics can be used to reconstruct single or many teeth, spanning tooth loss areas. The main advantages of fixed prosthodontics over direct restorations are improved strength in big

identical materials. Crowns may be made of gold or other similar metals, porcelain, or a combination of the two. Crowns made of
Zirkonia Oxide are being made more popular due to their high translucency and durability as opposed to the chipping disadvantages of porcelain crowns.

An onlay is a method of tooth restoration, that covers, protects, or reinforces one or more cusps. Onlays are methods for restoring teeth in an indirect way. Onlays are often used when teeth present extensive destruction due to caries or to trauma.

Traditionally, crown and bridge work requires more than one visit, and the extra time necessary for the procedure can be a drawback; nevertheless, the improved benefits of such an intervention will generally outweigh these factors.

If there is not enough tooth structure to properly retain the prosthetic crown, the tooth requires a build-up material. This can be accomplished with a pin-retained direct restoration, such as
