This document provides guidelines for preparing teeth for NobelProcera restorations. It states that NobelProcera requires only conventional preparation techniques with a moderate chamfer margin and rounded internal line angles. Preparation for NobelProcera laminates involves a 0.6-1.0mm reduction and extending the palatal surface by 1-3mm. Preparation for NobelProcera crowns and bridges involves eliminating sharp edges, undercuts and grooves, a 1.2-1.5mm reduction for anterior teeth and 1.5-2mm reduction for posterior teeth.

NobelProcera™ Laminate Alumina
• Use general veneer preparation techniques.
• In general, you should perform a reduction in order to: • Eliminate sharp line angles and edges. • Establish tapered axial walls. • Provide adequate space for the coping and the veneering porcelain. • Conservative reduction (0.6 to 1.0 mm) is recommended. • Extend the palatal preparation by 1 mm (minimum) to 3 mm (maximum). • You can extend the preparation beyond the contact points to a maximum of 1 mm.
Note! The laminate core is only 0.25 mm
thick. NobelProcera™ Laminates must be bonded. NobelProcera™ Preparation Guide, January 2009 3 NobelProcera™ Crown Zirconia and Alumina
NobelProcera™ Crown in the Anterior/Posterior
• Eliminate sharp edges, undercuts and grooves. • Prepare the tooth with a depth of 1.2 to 1.5 mm tooth reduction. • Provide adequate space for the coping and the veneering porcelain.
NobelProcera™ Crown in the Posterior
• Avoid sharp angles on the occlusal surface. • Avoid creating a deep fossa/cavity. • Provide sufficient (1.5 to 2 mm) occlusal reduction. • Avoid preparations that are excessively tapered or too close to parallel. The ideal total occlusal convergence is 3–5 degrees.

NobelProcera™ Bridge Zirconia and Alumina
• Eliminate sharp edges, undercuts and grooves.
• Establish tapered axial walls. • Provide adequate space for the coping and veneering porcelain. NobelProcera™ Bridge in the anterior • Prepare the tooth with a depth of 1.2 to 1.5 mm tooth reduction. • Only select cases where you have the ability to result in a 3 mm connector height. NobelProcera™ Bridge in the posterior • Avoid sharp angles on the occlusal surface. • Provide sufficient (1.5 mm to 2 mm) occlusal reduction. • Avoid preparations that are excessively tapered or too close to parallel. The ideal total occlusal convergence is 3–5 degrees.
