Why deep margin elevation?

25/02/2026

Deep margin elevation will make the impression easier by moving the proximal margin of  the restoration supra-gingivally, which is especially important for intra-oral scanning. It helps in avoiding periodontal surgical procedures. It makes isolation of the prepared tooth and luting of the final restoration easier.


Tips and Tricks

•    Isolation with rubber dam is highly recommended.
•    For a better emergence profile, use Teflon tape in the space between the matrix 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-aenial® 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).
