Contra-Indications
Steps in preparation
-Join the grooves by preparing the lingual half of the occlusal surface and
then the buccal half.
2
-The occlusal preparation in the functional cusps should be 1.5mm, and at
least 1mm for the nonfunctional cusps.

Buccal surface preparation
Three D.O.Gs are placed in the buccal surface, mesially, middle and distally by
a narrow round end fissure bur so that all the bur is embedded in the tooth
structure and the long axis of the bur is parallel with long axis of the tooth.
-Join the grooves by the same bur and leave the tip of the bur in the gingival
area to make a continuous, smooth chamfer finishing line.
By the use of a fine tapered fissure bur, the contact area should be removed
carefully by moving buccolingually.
The bur should rest on the prepared tooth to prevent any damage to the
adjacent tooth, which if it is damaged will cause a rough surface susceptible
for future caries.
Any sharp end should be removed because this will act as a stress
concentration area. Finish all prepared surfaced and slightly round all line
angles.
4
Use a fine-grit diamond or carbide bur of slightly greater diameter for
finishing the chamfer margin. The wider diamond is recommended because it
will smooth out any unwanted ripples that may have been created during
axial reducing and will eliminate any unsupported enamel at the margin.Place
a functional cusp bevel at this time.
A seating groove is placed in the buccal surface of the lower molar and the
palatal surface of the upper molar which acts as a guide during the placement
of the crown and prevents the rotation.
