For a full metal (full-cast) crown, where is the finish line/margin prepared?

  1. Circumferentially around the entire tooth (e.g., a chamfer)
  2. Only on the buccal surface
  3. Only interproximally
  4. No finish line is needed
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Circumferentially around the entire tooth (e.g., a chamfer)

  • A. Correct. A continuous finish line (commonly a chamfer) is prepared all the way around the tooth to define the crown margin.

  • C. An interproximal-only margin is incomplete.
  • D. Every crown requires a defined finish line for fit and seal.
