Learn from Zachary Sisler, DDS, AAACD how to streamline with preparation guides.
Preparing anterior teeth for esthetic restorations can be a daunting task for any clinician. In order for the dental laboratory technician to create an ideal restoration, the dentist must be able to prepare and contour a tooth to ensure adequate reduction has been allotted. The use of preparation guides can increase the efficiency and efficacy of the preparation appointment by ensuring the process is predictable and accurate. It is important to remember that in order to achieve exceptional esthetic results, the dentist must begin with the end in mind. By beginning to visualize the end result during the treatment-planning phase, he or she can establish a diagnostic wax-up to act as a blueprint for the patient’s functional esthetic matrix.
