Reverse Preparation Set - LS-7551

BY AXIS DENTAL CORPORATION

As the Director of Clinical Education and Research for Glidewell Laboratories, I have the opportunity to see thousands of
preps and impressions every week. It is evident that a preparation technique for porcelain fused to metal restorations as
well as all-ceramic restorations that is based on depth cuts will reduce frustrations for dentists and labs alike.

The Reverse Preparation technique was designed to ensure adequate

reduction and to make preparation of the margin as simple as possible. The
unique use of the round diamond bur to prepare the gingival margin as the
first step of the technique helps ensure that your laboratory technician will
be able to fabricate the best fitting restorations for your patients.
