Dear Doctor,

Have you considered selecting a PROCERA^® restoration? PROCERA^®  , as you may know provides your patient with natural beauty, maximum strength and a precise fit.

I have made a list of common "Questions and Answers" that I would like to share with you. Look for the free offers in this letter.

If I prescribe a Procera^®  AllCeram restoration, is a special tooth preparation necessary?
A chamfer type of preparation is preferred.  It is also advisable to round off all angles and sharp edges.  This is because the stylus used to map and digitize the dies cannot "read" sharp angles.  Sharp angles may also jeopardize the integrity of the crown.

Am I required to use any special burs or instruments?
We advise clinicians to continue to use the diamonds and carbides they are using now for routine crown preparations.  Procera^®  has  a prep kit available featuring different sized diamonds that might be helpful in achieving the optimum prep for Procera^® .  We will provide a free kit with the completion of your first Procera^®  case.  It is very important to remember that clinicians must use a diamond with generous water spray should any coping adjustment be necessary.  This includes adjustments made to the occlusal surface of the finished restoration.

What cement do you recommend for Procera^®  AllCeram?
One of the compelling reasons for using Procera^®  is that you can continue to use whichever cement you are now using in your office for routine crown and bridge treatment (following the manufacturers recommendations).  The coping has a very high flexural strength. 3M™ RelyX is recommended.  Ask us for a Free RelyX kit, with the completion of your first Procera^®  case.

How has Procera^®  been accepted in the dental industry?
Dr. Gordon J. Christensen said it best in the video tape;  Procera^®-A Challenge To Porcelain Fused To Metal "Clinical success has been demonstrated with Procera^®  over several years".  Tape is available on loan.

Pass the word on about PROCERA^® !  A practice builder like we have never seen before.

Please watch your case boxes for More "Questions AND Answers" about Procera^® .

Sincerely
Jeff Wilkinson, CDT
