2. Flares
• A flame diamond
and carbide bur is
used to make the
mesial and facial
flares which are
narrow at the
gingival end and
wider occlusally.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
3. Occlusal
• No: 171 bur is used Offset
to produce a 1.0 mm
wide ledge on the
lingual incline of the
facial cusp
connecting the
grooves, assuming
the shape of an
inverted V. Its floor
is perpendicular to
the path of insertion
www.indiandentalacademy.com
4. Occlusal Finishing Bevel
• A flame diamond or
no: 170 bur is used
for creating an
occluso facial
finishing bevel. The
bevel is rounded up
to the proximal
occlusal line angle
to blend with the
www.indiandentalacademy.com
proximal flares.
8. • Round end tapered
Occlusal Reduction
diamond and no: 171
bur.
• Depth orientation
grooves on the distal
aspect of the occlusal
surface 1.5mm deep.
Since the mesial
segment of the tooth is
dropped below the
occlusal plane the
grooves may not be as
deep.
• The tooth structures
between the orientation
www.indiandentalacademy.com
grooves are removed
9. Functional
• Is done using roundCusp Bevel
end tapered diamond
and no: 171 bur.
Depth orientation
grooves are placed
across the facial
occlusal line angle of
the mandibular
molar. The bevel will
be shorter and
shallower on the
mesial cusp than on
www.indiandentalacademy.com
the distal.
10. • Torpedo diamondAxial Reduction
Mesial is
used for the axial
reduction by making the
path of insertion of
mesial surface parallel
with the long axis of the
premolar abutment.
• The end of the diamond
will eventually make
contact with the tooth in
the gingival area of the
mesial surface and
produce a chamfer finish
www.indiandentalacademy.com
line.
11. Facial and Lingual Axial
Reduction
• Is done with a
tropedo diamond
producing a definite
chamfer finish line
at the same time.
End the extension
1.0 mm or more
mesial to the distofacial embrasure.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. Axial Finishing
• Torpedo bur is used
to produce a distinct
finish line and
round of the angles
of the preparation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
13. Occlusal Isthmus and
Countersink
• No: 171 bur is used
to make an occlusal
isthmus and a
countersink in the
distal fossa to
supplement
retention, resistance
and structural
durability.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
14. Facial and Lingual
• No: 171 bur is used to
make parallel grooves on
the facial and lingual
surfaces with in 1.0 mm
of the vertical distal
extension of preparation.
• The grooves should be
parallel to the mesial
surface of the tooth and
the long axis of the other
abutment.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Grooves
15. Distal Occlusal Offset
• A V-shape offset
0.5 to 1.0 mm from
the distal occlusal
finish line
connecting the
lingual groove to
the countersink to
the facial groove is
made using no: 171
www.indiandentalacademy.com
bur.
16. Flares and
• A flame diamond is Occlusal
used to place flares
distal to the facial
and lingual grooves.
• A bevel is cut along
the distal marginal
ridge with the flame
diamond taking care
not to extend into the
distal occlusal
embrasure.

than those preparations previously
described.

It is indicated where a single

involvement of these areas.

20. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
• Anthony H.L Tjan et al (1979) have discussed
the functions of grooves and offset of a three
quarter crown and the types of groove flare
design possible. They have established a practical
guide to planing the grooves on a three quarter
crown which fulfills biologic, mechanical &
structural requirements.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
21. • Mitsuo Kishimoto et al (1983) studied the
retention and resistance of four variations of
three quarter crown variations. Preparation
with boxes or four grooves were found to
be the most retentive of three quarter
crowns used in the study. Lingual
placement of proximal groove enhanced
retention. Three quarter crowns with V
shaped groovewww.indiandentalacademy.com
had least resistance.
22. • Shillingburg HT Jr.(1976). Partial veneer
crowns still play a role in modern restorative
dentistry.
• They must be used in the right situation with
thoughtful treatment planning, and they must
be done well in accordance with certain
principles.
• Three-quarter crowns are less retentive than
full crowns, but they can be used successfully
as single unit restorations and retainers for
short span bridges. Retention can be enhanced
by the use of proximal boxes.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
23. • Potts RG, Shillingburg HT Jr, Duncanson
MG Jr. (1980). Five preparation designs were
tested for retention and resistance.
• Retention values for all partial veneer crowns
were significantly lower than those for the
complete veneer crown.
• Resistance values increased significantly with
the addition of grooves and/or extension of
axial surface coverage.
• Addition of grooves and/or extension of axial
surface coverage produced small increases in
retention values but marked increases in
resistance values
www.indiandentalacademy.com
24. Conclusion
Tooth preparation for the various types of
partial veneer crowns was described.
•
Although retention and resistance of partial
veneer crowns is less but the conservative design
makes them a restoration of choice wherever
possible. Addition of retentive grooves and other
features increases the retention and resistance;
still it remains less than the complete coverage
crown.
•
A thorough clinical and radiographic diagnosis
and treatment planning is an utmost need for long

term success of the restoration.
