ABSTRACT:
A flexible clearance and marking tab for facilitating the consistently accurate fitting of a dental crown. The tab is elongated, has a width about equal to the occlusal (chewing surface) of the tooth being restored and is provided in variable thicknesses between 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters. The tab is fabricated from a flexible and elastic material and has a thin marking surface on at least one of the faces which is of a color which is visible when transferred to a tooth surface. When a crown or bridge procedure is being done, the dentist uses the tab to mark high spots so that the tooth being restored can be accurately and uniformly reduced occlusally in order to provide just the right amount of clearance necessary to place the type of crown being fabricated.
