Prep requirements

Use typical all-ceramic preparation parameters: Chamfer or 90° rounded shoulder; 1.5 - 2.0 mm facial reduction, 2.0 mm flat occlusal reduction (no fossa prep), and no sharp angles. No bevels or deep shoulder preps. These are necessary to allow for best scanning capabilities. Chamfer Margins - Correct preparation of the chamfer margins interproximally allows the appropriate bulk of porcelain.
