- The diameter of reduced tooth cervically is less than occlusally (Divergence
or undercut)
Impossible seating of restoration.
- The Patient has parafunctional habits as bruxism or biting habit such as pipe
smoking.
Difficult to prevent oblique forces from being applied to the restoration.

Fixed Prosthodontics 1
- A bevel is not placed on the functional cusp.
This will lead to thin area and perforation or over-contouring (bulging) & poor occlusion.
- The Labial surface is prepared in one plane // to incisal 2/3 of labial surface
with more than sufficient space.
It will endanger the pulp & produced over tapered preparation affecting resistance and retention.
- Inadequate preparation.
This leads to poor marginal fit or deficient crown contour, plaque control around fixed restorations
will become more difficult. This will impede the long-term maintenance of dental health.
