Why Deep Margin Elevation?

Deep margin elevation will make the impression easier by moving the proximal argin of the restoration supra-gingivally, whic is especially important for intra-oral scanning. It helps in avoiding periodontal surgical procedures.

Tips and Tricks

  • Isolation with rubber dam is highly recommended.
  • For a better emergence profile, use Teflon tape in the space between the matric and the adjacent tooth instead of a wedge. Do not use the same matrix as you use for creating a contact point in direct restorations.
  • Selective etching of the enamel is recommended.
  • Use XBW shade of G-ænial™ Universal Injectable for easy differentiation between the tooth, composite material and the restoration.
  • The height of the new margin should be slightly above the gingival margin (1mm).

The Menopause Symptom No One Talks About
An interview with Ms. Tatiana Brandt, MEd, RDH, Denmark. Menopause comes with a long list of symptoms most people can recite by heart – hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings.
