More conservativeremovaloftoothstructurealsomeans there is less risk to the pulp. The converse is true in that cohesively retained restorations are more invasive. Removal of more structureincreasespulpalrisk,decreasesstrengthand increases tooth flexure, which may lead to fracture. Tooth preparation is also more important as retention and resistance form is essential to retain the crown. A laboratory can fabricate minimally in- vasive, adhesively retained restorations. However, chairside CAD/CAM technology can fabricate excellent restorations of the same quality in the same visit. This means the challenge of fabri- cating a provisional for a tooth preparation that Fig. 23_Scanning preparations. Fig. 24a_Scanning opposing teeth.
