The “index cutback technique”: a three-dimensional guided layering approach in direct class IV composite restorations.
Literature between implants and teeth supports these last, if indications and protocols of all therapies are strict. In this article all the step by step restorative protocols will be evaluated when dealing with a compromised tooth.
This article proposes the index technique as a fast and conservative approach for the planning and management of a full-mouth adhesive treatment in all cases of worn dentition. The technique is based on stamping composite directly on the tooth surface by means of a transparent index created from the full-mouth wax-up following an initially planned increase in occlusal vertical dimension (OVD).
