2) has an oval cross-sectional shape;
3) has the proper finish line prepared on lateral walls;
4) the length of the root part should at least equal the height of prosthetic crown;
5) the length of the root part should equal 1/3 of the length of prosthetic crown.
The correct answer is:

  2. B. 1,3,5.
  3. C. 2,3,4.
  4. D. 2,3,5.
