All or nothing

The surfaces, which are absolutely es-

sential for a functional restoration, are

precisely prepared on the incisors and

canines taking into account all excursi-

ons and patient parameters. Even with

analogue preparation the dental

technician cannot achieve wider func-

tional surfaces.

It can be clearly seen from the frontal

view where and how the guide surfa-

ces are placed.
