title: Making a coping for an esthetic veneer crown.
abstract: Esthetic veneer crowns should be waxed to full contour before the veneer surface is cut back. This procedure ensures that patterns and metal copings will have the proper contours. A technique is described for making a coping that has an ideal thickness of 0.3 to 0.5 mm, that is stable, and that is unlikely to fracture.
