Abstract
Restoration form is to a large extent dependent on the anatomy of the individual, and the aim of the operator or his assistants should be to restore each dentition in such a way that the subsequent shape harmonises with the remainder of the dentition. Further, in considering the individual restoration it should be regarded as part of a larger whole formed by the two articulating dental arches. Thus cusp height, inclination and morphology cannot be determined by the acceptance of a standard shape.
