Prep guidelines

Follow our guidelines for optimal dental outcomes

Full ceramic restoration of teeth

Careful preparation is decisive for the accuracy of fit and durability of the restoration.

  • Precise marginal design with a circular shoulder with rounded inner edges is important.
  • Avoid sharp transitions and feather edges.
  • Adhesive cementation permits defect-oriented preparation.

In order to achieve sufficiently strong restorations, the minimum thicknesses has to be observed.

Please download the guidelines here for more information on ideal preparations for crowns, inlays and onlays etc.

The images below may also help produce the ideal prep in different scenarios.
