Different types of indices are being used for assessment of tooth preparation. All these indices are used to visualize tooth preparations in a particular plane. A single versatile index which could help to visualize tooth preparations in different planes is non-existent. The need for fabrication of such an index and its reliability is of utmost important to provide quality tooth preparations.
