By increasing the connectors height from 2mm to 4mm the flexure of resistance will increase by how many times?
- Doubling the height of connector will not double the resistance but it does increase exponentially?
What kind of shape should a connector have when fabricating PFM fixed dental prosthesis from 12-14?
Triangular
When designing a FDP in anterior, where should the connector be placed?
Incisal 1/3rd
All ceramic FDP connectors should have an area of?

Proper proximal contact for a crown or FDP on a working cast is confirmed by?
Visual examination of proximal contact area is sufficient
All of the following statements are true concerning the intraoral evaluation of a crown except?
Flossing the proximal contact should fray
According to Dr. Sebert’s Ridge Classification, which type which is least prevalent in the general population?

Class I and III
How much axial wall thickness is required, minimal for ferrule effect?
1mm
What are the Guidelines of the Post and COre?
- A post that is too short will increase the likelyhood of root fracture
- The post length should be 2/3 of the length of the root and have the length of the root in bone
- It should be 3-5mm from the apex, can not be less, to insure that we keep the canal sealed
- The purpose of the post is to retain the core
- THe purpose of the core is to provide retention & resistance of the crown
