1. Preparation

• Eliminate sharp edges, undercuts, and grooves.
• Establish tapered axial walls.
• Provide adequate space for the coping and the dental ceramics porcelain.
• Provide sufficient reduction (1.2 mm to 1.5 mm).
• Only select cases where you have the ability to result in a 3 mm connector height.
• Provide sufficient occlusal/incisal reduction (1.5 mm to 2 mm).
• Avoid preparations that are excessively tapered or too close to parallel. The ideal total occlusal convergence is 6-10 degree.

2. Impression

• Make an ordinary crown and bridge impression using your preferred impression material and method.
• Send the impression to the laboratory.

3. Laboratory procedures

• The dies and model are scanned using the NebelProcera Scanner. The data is transfeered to a NobelProcera production facility.
• The bridges is milled from a presintered piece of zirconia, sintered to full density and retuned to the laboratory.
• The restoration is completed using a zirconia veneering dental ceramic material and sent to the clinician.

4. Cementation

To save chair time, the NobelProcera Bridge Zirconia can be cemented using conventional crown and bridge cement or it can be bonded.
