Summary. This article describes making a surveyed crown with the aid of a home-made instrument that can be used to measure the amount and position of the retentive undercut in relation to the reciprocal portion of a crown, either in wax or metal. The instrument, attached to surveying spindle (rod ), can be used to actually carve the reciprocal portion of the waxed crown to make it  parallel to the path of insertion and can determine how long this surface must be.
Key words: functional waxing, crown, abutment, removable partial denture

FUNKCIONALNO MODELOVANJE KRUNE ZA NOSAČ PARCIJALNE PROTEZE

Ovaj članak opisuje metod izrade paralelometarske krune uz pomoć kućno izradjenog instrumenta koji može biti korišćen za merenje iznosa i položaja retencione podminiranosti u odnosu na recipročni deo krune, bilo u vosku ili metalu. Instrument, pričvršćen na osovinu paralelometra, može biti korišćen da stvarno rezbari recipročni deo voštane krune da bi ga učinio paralelnim sa putom unošenja i može odrediti koliko duga ova površina mora biti.
Ključne reči: funkcionalno modelovanje, kruna, nosač, pokretna parcijalna proteza
