title: The single-unit crown: factors for clinical success.
abstract: Application of the crown preparation guidelines obtained through theoretical models, laboratory testing and clinical studies provide an evidence-based rationale for clinical practice procedures. The evidence-based rationale has been presented to support basic day-to-day techniques in clinical practice. As new techniques and materials are developed, each should be evaluated carefully prior to clinical use and acceptance.
