There are a few complications that make this an art form really. The temporary crown can sometimes act as a separator and push the teeth apart a bit during the time the temporary is worn. Then your crown has great contacts on the model but slightly open contacts when seated clinically. If the patient is told to floss this contact really well, the contact should close again. Similarly, sometimes if the contacts are over-tight, the crown will sometimes actually settle in just fine given a bit of time for the forces to distribute and the teeth to shift slightly. If a contact is open or loose on a model and in the mouth though, I reject it.
Great episode! Any tips on whrther you do things any differently for checking contacts for an onlay? I'm not sure i trust my nurses finger to hold it down as much for an onlay 😂
