The convergence angle in teeth prepared for artificial crowns.
The bucco-lingual and mesio-distal convergence angles in vital and rootfilled teeth prepared for complete crowns were measured microscopically on 190 stone dies. In vital teeth the mean convergence angles varied between approximately 19 and 27 degrees. In rootfilled teeth the mean angles varied between 12 and 37.
