Visualize what the crown prep looks like, then drill away everything that doesn't look like that.
Make sure you reduce enough so the lab can make you a nice crown?

Since they want us to reinvent the wheel in dental school, what are some quick, helpful tidbits to turn out beautiful crowns?
Hire a good associate, and find a good lab.
Use a reduction stint to ensure proper reduction, don't undercut it.
One eye it to check for draw. Use proper magnification and light. New burs are good for plastic teeth.
Repetition is the mother of perfection.

Nope. They'll work for me, and I take a cut of the profit while playing a round of golf. It's the American way.
Beautiful crowns are created by good labs, to answer the original question. We just prep and temp.
Preps are easy. Temps are hard! IMO.

Make sure your reduction is sufficient, but dont reduce too much...😉
Find a good lab.
Take GOOD, I mean GOOOOD impressions. If you give the lab shat, you'll get shat back.

👍 in preclinic, they teach you to be super conservative. however, if I were to prep teeth in clinic the way I did in preclinic, I bet all of my restorations would be overcountoured.
