Common Sense Dental’s PrepCheck tabs, a new product for crown preparation, are equipped with a special coating that marks the tooth in areas that need to be reduced. PrepCheck promotes adequate reduction, allowing for the ideal thickness of the final restoration and it ensures superior strength and aesthetics. This prep-marking system will increase accuracy and promote better fit for all types of crown prep.
PrepCheck tabs come in in 3 sizes: 1mm for gold crown, 1.5 mm for porcelain to metal, and 2mm for non-metal.
Use PrepCheck in 3 simple steps:
1) Prepare crown prep as usual and select size needed
2) Ask patient to bite on the PrepCheck tab. Do not pull or tug on the tab. A properly prepared tooth will resist tug even if occlusal reduction is adequate.
3) Look at the occlusal contacts on adjacent teeth. These should appear to occlude when the tab is in place. If the occlusal contacts do not meet, adequate reduction has not been achieved. Remove the tab and reduce areas that are marked by the special coating on PrepCheck tabs.
