Partial veneer crown is contraindicated in:

 # Partial veneer crown is contraindicated in:

a) Long teeth 

b) Short teeth

c) Tipped teeth 

d) Tapered teeth

The correct answer is B. Short Teeth.

Indications for partial veneer crown:

• Intact or minimally restored teeth .

• Teeth with normal anatomic crown form i.e., without excessive cervical constriction.

• Teeth with adequate crown Length.

Contraindications for partial veneer crown:

• High caries rate.

• Short teeth.

• Bell shaped teeth.

• Teeth with insufficient buccolingual width.

• Excessively restored teeth.

Retention of Partial Veneer Crown

 # In partial veneer crown, retention can be increased by:

a) Increased length of path of insertion

b) Increase in taper

c) Making path of removal parallel to long axis of adjacent teeth

d) None of the above

The correct answer is A. Increased length of path of insertion.

Crown preparation with long, parallel axial walls and grooves produces maximum retention. Increasing the taper decreases retention. A short, over tapered preparation, decreases the retention because the restoration can be removed along an infinite number of paths.

Tooth Preparation for metal crown

 # The amount of reduction required for a tooth for all metal crown restoration is:

a) So that there is proper clearance between the teeth

b) So that the tooth architecture interferes with the arch of rotation

c) So that the tooth architecture doesn't interfere with the arch of rotation

d) At least 2mm on all the surfaces

The correct answer is: B. So that the tooth architecture interferes with the arch of rotation

The longer the occlusogingival length of the preparation, the greater is the retention. This is because longer preparations interfere with the arc of the casting pivoting about a point than shorter preparations.

Finish lines of a complete coverage crown should lie:

 # Finish lines of a complete coverage crown should lie?

a) Supragingivally 

b) Subgingivally

c) Subgingival if required

d) Gingival margin

The correct answer is C. Subgingival if required. 

Whenever possible the finish lines of crowns should terminate supragingivally. Subgingival margins are required in the following situations.

• Esthetics.

• Cervical erosion and caries.

• Insufficient crown length for retention.

• Elimination of persistent root hyper sensitivity.
