Critical Error
Isolation and Tissue Management
  • No damage and/or optimal isolation
  • Poor isolation and/or tissue damage requiring finishing/polishing
  • Poor isolation and/or tissue damage that requires a major recontour or restoration
Restoration
Surface
  • Surface uniformly smooth, replicates normal textures
  • Surface slightly rough, pitted, or lacking finish
  • Surface decidedly rough or pitted
  • Deeply pitted or grooved
Marginal Integrity
  • Margin is smooth
  • Margin is not short, long, or open
Margins are slightly:
  • Detectable with explorer
  • Over-extended
  • Under-extended
Margins are slightly:
  • Detectable with explorer
  • Over-extended
  • Under-extended
  • Margin open
  • Gross over-finish
  • Gross over-extension
Occlusal Anatomy and Functions
  • Cusp planes, grooves and marginal ridges continuous with existing tooth form
  • Occlusion restored
  • Slightly over/under contoured
  • Canine guidance not maintained
  • Anatomy lacks definition
  • Premature occlusal contacts
  • Balancing or non-functional contacts exist
  • Decidedly over contoured, excessive depth of anatomy
  • Anatomy absent
  • Restoration fractured, missing
  • Gross hyperocclusion, no other teeth in contact
  • Occlusal contact not existent
Axial Contour and Proximal Contact
  • Axial contours continuous with existing tooth form
  • Proximal embrasures and contact restored
  • Slightly over- or under- contoured
  • Proximal contact visually closed, lacks intensity
  • Decidedly over-or under-contoured, outside normal physiologic/anatomic range
  • Soft tissue impingement
  • Grossly over- or under-contoured
  • Proximal contact visually open
