About the Course

Course Description

This course provides clear examples of ideal prepped tooth margins and guide you on how to consistently create them. Attendees will gain practical strategies to become more efficient in tooth preparation and impression-taking. The key to predictable, functional, and esthetically pleasing crown and bridge (C&B) cases is producing margins that everyone can see (the lab technician, the dental assistant, and the dentist). Clear, well-prepared margins allow your lab to build on a strong foundation and make your traditional and digital impressions more reliable and predictable.
