Initial Assessment Evaluate the tooth's condition, occlusion, and periodontal status. 2. Tooth Reduction ✔ Occlusal Reduction Create depth grooves and reduce the occlusal surface following the tooth's anatomy. ✔ Axial Reduction Reduce the axial walls uniformly, maintaining the desired taper. ✔ Functional Cusp Bevel Bevel functional cusps to provide adequate material thickness in areas of heavy occlusal load. 3. Finish Line Preparation Establish a clear and continuous margin appropriate for the restorative material. 4. Refinement Smooth all surfaces, remove sharp angles, and ensure the absence of undercuts to facilitate crown seating. 5. Impression Taking Capture an accurate impression of the prepared tooth and surrounding structures. 6. Provisional Restoration Place a temporary crown to protect the preparation and maintain occlusal relationships.
