As many of you probably know, I am a big fan of<br />
depth cut-based preparation techniques. In my opinion,<br />
they are a foolproof way of ensuring you get adequate<br />
reduction and thus a functional and esthetic<br />
restoration. Some dentists are too set in their ways to<br />
consider trying a new prep technique, but the fact remains<br />
that the majority of the posterior crown preps<br />
we receive at the lab are under-reduced. Enter the Reduction<br />
Ring. Unless your patients have translucent<br />
cheeks, checking occlusal reduction on a molar visually<br />
is substandard. With a 1.5 mm or 2 mm Reduction<br />
Ring, you are able to watch the ring slide between<br />
teeth to indicate if you have enough reduction on the<br />
lingual cusp of that upper first molar. The best news?<br />
No more calls from our technical advisors asking you<br />
to re-prep and re-impress!<br />
