Esthetic mouth preparation for ceramic restoration. 1985

B J Crispin, and R R Seghi

At the beginning of this article, we asked the question "Is there a problem?" The answer to this question is yes, but at different levels for individual dentists and individual treatment situations. Adequate esthetic mouth preparation for ceramic restorations requires far more than tooth preparation. This article has outlined the major areas of concern. Readers must recognize areas of individual need and explore them in greater detail in the dental literature. It is hoped that this article has stimulated readers to learn more about esthetic moth preparation for ceramic restorations.
