This video is the completion video (IV) of the tutorial series on creating and finishing thin e.max crown margins (located in CEREC Liftoff Chapter 9).  I prefer this margin approach in the anterior aesthetic zone.  It is optimal for preservation of tooth structure and creating a realistic cervical zone color by using the natural optical transfer of rich cervical color
