Abstract:
This report describes a methodical preparation for a posterior partial veneered restoration that isolates the occlusal contact area in the enamel to maintain the vertical dimension of occlusion. The modality provides sound posterior occlusal function, making it possible to mount casts in an articulator with extraordinary precision and without the aid of the interocclusal record. At the same time, it minimizes the occlusal adjustment of the restorations. This preparation is especially designed for resin-bonded prostheses.
