A directed shrinkage approach to the provision of foundations for decimated teeth.
The directed shrinkage approach was developed to create sealed tooth-restoration interfaces in posterior composite restorations. Creative application of this technique can result in foundations that are suitable for a variety of applications, including salvaging broken-down teeth and supporting free-hand restorations. The sealed interface reduces microleakage and postoperative tooth sensitivity. The components required for this technique are readily available and are usually part of the practice's armamentarium.
