What type of crowns can use incisal offset and lingual palate pinholes?

The type of crowns that can utilize incisal offset and lingual palate pinholes are typically designed to enhance retention and stability in a more anatomical manner. In the context of three-quarter crowns, particularly for maxillary anterior teeth, the application of incisal offsets is particularly beneficial. This technique allows for the crown to preserve more of the tooth structure in the facial and incisal areas while providing adequate support and retention through minimal occlusal reduction.

Additionally, the lingual palate pinholes facilitate additional retention by allowing for the integration of pins that can further anchor the crown to its underlying tooth structure, particularly important in anterior segments that experience different forces compared to posterior teeth. By focusing on the anterior region, which often requires a more aesthetic and functional approach, the use of these techniques becomes essential to achieving a successful prosthetic outcome.

In contrast, the other crown types mentioned either do not typically require or emphasize the same incisal offsets and pinholes due to their design or location in the mouth where different occlusal stresses and tooth anatomy are present. Therefore, the maxillary anterior three-quarter crown stands out as the best choice for employing such advanced retention strategies.
