LABIAL REDUCTION
Use the depth cutter diamond bur across the labial surface of the tooth in
a mesial to distal direction in three areas:
-the incisal third
-the middle third
-the gingival third.
Anna Organ-Boshes, DDS
The depth of the cut is limited by the shank of the bur.
The bur will develop depth cuts as horizontal grooves of 0.3 mmdeep,
leaving a raised strip of enamel between.

•Use round end tapereddiamond bur to
remove remaining labial enamel.
•Move the bur from the mesial to distal
direction, following the tooth curvature
from mesial to distal and from gingival to
incisal.

The diamond bur will give a chamfer finish lineat the gingival margin.

INTERPROXIMAL EXTENSION
With the round end tapered diamond bur, extend the mesial and
distal margins around the mesiobuccal and distobuccal line angles
into the interproximal contact areas.

INCISAL REDUCTION
Make depth cuts approximately 1 mm deepat the incisal edge, then reduce
the incisal edge to the depth cuts by moving the diamond bur
from mesial to distal.
Incisal reduction should be at least 1 mm

LINGUAL EXTENSION
•The lingual margin should be located away from the occlusal contacts.
•The finish line of the preparation is created with round end tapered
diamond bur, which creates rounded chamfer.

Completed #8 veneer preparation
To prevent areas of stress concentration
and veneer fracture,
all prepared surfaces should be rounded.

PROVISIONAL RESTORATION -direct method
Diagnostic impressions are made before preparing the teeth.
Diagnostic wax-up is completed to make any corrections: shape, length,
or closing up diastema.
A transparent plastic vacuum form is then fabricated.

PROVISIONAL RESTORATION -direct method
Vaseline is applied to the prepared tooth
and adjacent teeth.
Anna Organ-Boshes, DDS
The plastic mold is loaded with a light-cured composite (Microfil).
Anna Organ-Boshes, DDS
The mold with composite is applied to the prepared tooth and light-cured.

After trimming and adjusting, the provisional veneer is polished using
composite polishing disks, points, and brushes.
