What's a good method for obtaining natural looking occlusal detail in the finished crown?? Rather than having washed out chicken scratches.

I have no clue, I'm an ortho lab. I make a couple of post and people think I know everything.
Mkike.
One way to create and maintain functional occlusal morphology is to use molds and the PTM systems. In these pics I used BioFit molds and Authentic Pulse Interface Press to Metal. What you see in wax is what you get in the final press.
