We know that in general back teeth are a lot larger than front teeth and for that reason alone we know that the gold will be a lot more proportioned than the tooth.

Certainly the other thing that determines the weight of the gold is what is in the alloy. We talked earlier about how with a dental gold crown that because there is a combination of gold in an alloy of metals that the other metals that are put within the gold can also determine the weight too. All metals are what have different weights and sizes and because of that there are certain metals in the alloy that will make one gold crown on the back tooth weigh more than
