title: Preparation guidelines for less-invasive cosmetic restorations.
abstract: This article discusses the trend toward less-invasive restorative procedures. Two cases that required different approaches to similar restorations are documented. Understanding a systematic preparation philosophy allows clinicians to be consistent regarding both their approach and the expected results. The use of wax-ups and preparation guides to achieve predictable esthetic restorations is shown, both visually and technically.
