Minor marginal finishing is necessary in virtually every indirect treatment to remove excess cement or during occlusal adjustments. The use of a systematic finishing technique following cementation will improve a restoration’s long-term performance and maintenance of its marginal integrity. Key principles include:
• Excess cement must be removed to prevent plaque retention.
• Non-cutting, safe-end finishing burs enable finishing of gingival margins while protecting the soft tissues.
• Use burs with sufficient blade count for predictable fine finishing around the new restoration.
