[QUOTE="PDC, post: 227395, member: 3385"] I don't like the look of it but I have had to redo some crowns because they weren't ridge lapped. This is especially true when an implant is tissue level and placed slightly lingual to the other teeth. In order to achieve proper occlusion, the buccal has to be brought out facially. Unfortunately this causes an undercut area on the buccal side of the crown creating a food pack situation at the gingival area. The only remedy is the ridge lap at this point. I cringe at doing them this way but it seems to solve the immediate problem and that's what the doctor ordered. [/QUOTE]
