 The finish line of a crown preparation can be placed supragingivally or subgingivally depending on the clinical situation. Subgingival finish lines may be necessary to achieve proper aesthetics, especially in cases where the margin needs to be hidden beneath the gingival tissue. However, it is important to avoid placing the finish line too far subgingivally, as this can complicate oral hygiene and lead to periodontal issues.
