The 5 Mistakes Covered in This Guide:

Mistake #1: Preparation Not Following Tooth Anatomy
Many operators follow their mental image instead of the actual anatomy. Learn how to review and mark anatomy before you cut, and keep your preparation true to the tooth’s natural form.
Mistake #2: Lack of Convergence in Cavity Preparations
Without proper convergence, your restoration won’t retain. Discover how to balance perfect outline form with adequate mechanical retention.
Mistake #3: Leaving Unsupported Enamel Behind
Enamel rods without dentinal support are prone to fracture. Find out how to maintain the critical 90-degree exit angle while creating that ideal reverse S curve.
Mistake #4: Under or Over Tapered Crowns
The ideal taper is 6-12 degrees between opposing walls, but most candidates get it wrong. Learn why undertapering is more common — and how to find the right balance.
Mistake #5: Inadequate Occlusal Clearance
Conserving occlusal anatomy is important, but not at the expense of leaving enough room for the restoration. Master depth grooves placement for proper clearance.
Bonus: The STOP Signal
Learn to recognize the subtle signs that tell you to pause and check your work — before a small mistake becomes a failed bench test.
