Lesson 1Interproximal finishing during build: creating contacts, finishing strips, and preserving embrasure anatomyThis part focuses on side finish during veneer build, detailing how to make right touches, keep space form, and use strips and discs to fine shape without harm to near teeth or soft parts.
