Inspired by the traditional feather-edge cervical margins used for classic fitted band crowns, these minimally invasive preparations have naturally evolved alongside the rise of highly durable zirconia ceramics. Why Choose VertiPreps? Vertical preparations offer the dual advantage of significant tooth tissue preservation while also allowing unrivalled gingival conditioning and tissue shaping. In addition, by optimising the ferrule effect, they work in synergy with modern adhesive core build-ups that do not require radicular posts, helping to reinforce the remaining dental structure, particularly during prosthetic retreatment cases.
