The document discusses partial veneer crowns, specifically three-quarter crowns. It provides historical context on partial veneer crowns dating back to ancient times. It then covers terminology, advantages and disadvantages, indications and contraindications, treatment planning considerations, and preparation techniques for maxillary posterior three-quarter crowns. Proper preparation is important to provide adequate retention and resistance while minimizing removal of sound tooth structure.

3. Man for centuries has mutilated,
adorned and decorated his teeth.
Throughout prehistoric time down
through the ages man has inflicted
mutilations and wounds upon himself
inspired by vanity, fashion, generosity,
mystical and religious ideas and
perversion of the senses. The esthetic
sense has indeed been profound. It
seems that the most ancient dental
prosthetic appliances have been of the
fixed bridgework type.

6. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Fixed prosthodontic crown and bridge work
dates back as far as 300-400 B.C, where in
one of the oldest tombs of Sidon an extant
Phoenician specimen was recovered
consisting of gold wire fastening six anterior
teeth two of them being pontics.

veneer gold crown. Its construction
consisted of wire staple fitted into slots

8. 1910 : E.T. Tinker : developed a casting
technique largely facilitating the
fabrication of the so called three quarter
partial veneer gold crown. Technically
this was a refinement of the Carmicheal
crown.
Thereafter developments took place in
the direction of more accurate methods
of recording surface details, casting and
also design of the preparation to restore
not only the anterior teeth but also the
posterior teeth with partial veneer

Pulp vitality should be assessed. The
position of the pulp should be assessed on

34. The groove is extended to its full length in
segments of 0.5 mm as far gingivally as
possible ending about 0.5 mm above the
chamfer finish line.
The proximal groove should have a
definite LINGUAL WALL ( retention to
lingual tipping). They must be directed
toward the middle of the tooth at right
angles to the outer surface of the tooth
( prevents undermining of facial enamel
and avoids sharp unsupported wings of
tooth structure).
The distal groove should be cut so that it
parallels the mesial groove.

where caries or previous restorations are

61. REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
Joseph P. Moffa et al in 1967 studied the
retentive properties of parallel pin restorations
and established that threaded wrought pins are
more retentive than plane cast pins and that
there is direct relation between pin length and
number and the retention.
Ake Parlmid in 1967 designed a new
parallelometer which could be used intraorally
while preparing teeth for pin ledges, inlays, for
making grooves and boxes and for checking
alignment of multiple teeth preparations.
www.indiandentalacademy.co
m
62. Pruden . W. H in 1971 discussed the indications,
contraindications, advantages and disadvantages
of partial coverage versus full coverage retainers.
He concluded that the proper use of pins made it
possible to use conservative partial coverage in
many teeth. Full coverage, according to him was
indicated in badly broken down teeth.
Anthony H. L. Tjan Gary D. Miller in 1979
discussed the functions of grooves and offset of a
three quarter crown and the types of groove flare
designs possible. They established practical
guidelines to establish grooves which fulfill
biologic, mechanical and structural requirements.
www.indiandentalacademy.co
m
63. CONCLUSION:
Principles and biomechanical preparation of
various partial veneer crowns were discussed
Although the retention and resistance of these
crowns is less their conservative preparation
makes them restoration of choice wherever
possible. Addition of grooves, boxes and/or pins
increases the retention and resistance , yet it
remains less than that of a full crown.
A through clinical and radiographic diagnosis and
treatment planning is essential for long term
success of this restoration.
