title: Tissue orientation of the crown in the laboratory.
abstract: Objectives in the design of the coronal contours of the ceramometal crown and the working formula to accomplish these objectives have been outlined. When the dental laboratory technician and ceramist understand these principles and follow them in the laboratory, a crown that is well tissue related in its contours is obtained. The dentist is responsible for making the final adjustments to the crown in the actual tissue environment.
