Essential lines: a concept for the production of functional and beautiful posterior restorations.

Essential lines: a concept for the production of functional and beautiful posterior restorations.
Achieving a natural likeness can be challenging in restorative dentistry. The concept of ‘essential lines’ can help practitioners achieve this aesthetic result – even in cases where exact tooth anatomy is unavailable.

Drawing ‘essential lines’ can help successfully recreate the natural appearance of teeth in restorative dentistry.
The essential lines concept assumes each posterior tooth has a universal set of characteristics, or common lines. When used in combination with copying techniques, knowledge of these lines can help recreate the appearance of a tooth in restorations – especially in cases where the exact anatomy of the tooth is not available. It can also reduce the time and effort spent on creating natural-looking restorations, without compromising on quality.
