HOW TO USE PREPCHECK™
Insert the darker side of the PrepCheck™ tab between the preparation and the opposing dentition. Pull or tug on the PrepCheck ™ tab. The PrepCheck ™ should slide out with very little resistance. If it does not, proceed to step 2. (If the tab cannot be removed or is difficult to remove, adequate reduction has not been achieved.)
Insert the lighter side of the PrepCheck™ between the preparation and the opposing dentition.
Note: The lighter side contains the powdered marking medium. Ask the patient to tap or grand on the PrepCheck ™.
Reduce the areas that mark. Go back to step 1 and tug with the uncoated side of PrepCheck ™ between the preparation and opposing dentition.
“The PrepCheck™ is a great asset to have when prepping teeth, especially the second molars. The occlusal reduction is more accurate and it saves time chairside because you spend less time adjusting the bite. Also, I have reduced calls from the lab asking for more space. PrepCheck’s™ best asset is that it en-sures you have enough thickness in all ceramic and CAD/CAM crowns with no failure due to fracture.”
