title: Making fixed prostheses that are not too high.
abstract: It has been observed that a high percentage of multiple crowns or FPDs arrive from laboratories too "high." This article suggests methods to create accurate alginate impressions, opposing casts and IORs. If dentists use these techniques, it is anticipated that fewer FPDs will be too high as dentists attempt to seat them in the mouth.
