Kilgore and Columbia typodonts show slightly different anatomies on #8 & 9. Kilgore is more flat and wider-feeling, whereas Columbia is more rounded with pronounced anatomy.

I’ll be demonstrating with a Columbia typodont.

Before starting, take a look at the tooth you’ll be working on from several different angles. Take an especially close look at it’s lingual anatomy and relationship with the opposing lower incisor.

Remember that the finished crown should restore this natural anatomy, and our job is to give sufficient room for material while preserving as much tooth structure as possible.
