The porcelain butt margin with hydrocolloid impression technique

After preliminary scientific data, the dentist commonly evaluates the success of a recommended clinical technique. However, the accuracy of a restoration constructed in the laboratory depends directly upon the abilities of the laboratory technician. The communication between the dentist and the laboratory technician is crucial for success. This study examined the practicality of the porcelain/butt margin. When combined with the appropriate tissue management, sulcular placement, and impressions, this consistent procedure was easily evaluated, financially sound, and time-conserving.
