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).
