Prep Requirements
A chamfer margin is preferred; however any traditional full-cast crown prep is acceptable. Avoid a beveled or knife-edge design.
1mm of occlusal space is ideal.
No sharp or right angles.
Instructions of Adjustments and Polishing
Do not have patient bite in to place.
A fine-grit diamond bur and water spray are necessary when adjusting Full-Contour. If the temperature of zirconia exceeds certain limits, micro-fractures and surface defects can occur, lowering the strength of the restoration.
Polish Full-Contour with a small brush and diamond polishing paste.
