Crown and Bridge Preparations
Course Objectives
1.5 CE Credits
This course demonstrates a predictable step-by-step technique for crown preparation that is essentially sequenced backwards from what nearly all dentists were taught in dental school. With a focus on precise margination and adequate reduction in critical areas through the use of depth cuts, the Reverse Preparation technique gives dentists a way to prepare teeth that will have their laboratory technician complimenting their preparations.
