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