To avoid injuring the gums during treatment and to create a gap between the tooth and the impression, a thin thread can be gently inserted into the upper edge of the gum. This is removed after the session and does not harm the gums. Once the tooth preparation is completed, an impression of the new situation is made for the dental laboratory, which uses the impression to create a plaster model of the oral situation; on this, the ceramic dental prosthesis is then individually produced. At the next appointment in the practice, the dental prosthesis is tried on and checked for aesthetics and function. If everything fits and looks good, it can be cemented immediately. At a follow-up appointment, the function is checked again.
