Reproduce posterior occlusal morphology in fixed prosthetics

When restoring any decayed tooth, the morphology of natural teeth is always an ideal guide to be reproduced and recreated with the aim of restoring function. This applies regardless of the technique used. An intact natural tooth remains an indisputable reference in dentistry. Morphology and function are inseparable. Furthermore, occlusal morphology and occlusion are two inseparable entities. In fixed prosthetics, occlusal morphology is reproduced using the technique of sculpting by addition, respecting occlusal relationships. Today, reproduction is greatly facilitated by the biogeneric model.
