1. Preparation
Smart tips for your preparation:
- Build the core and fill the undercuts with everX Flow™ to preserve and reinforce the remaining tooth structure
- Immediate dentin sealing with G2-BOND Universal or G-Premio BOND™ protects dentin from contamination, eliminates postoperative sensitivity and increases bond strength
- Do a deep margin elevation with G-ænial™ Universal Injectable when needed
- Quickly and efficiently temporize the preparation with TEMPSMART® or REVOTEK® LC

2. Material Selection
Use GC Initial® LiSi Block, the fully crystallized lithium disilicate block for:
- Restoring teeth with compromised structure (cracks, big defects, several cusps missing)
- Ceramic antagonists
- Adult patients
Use CERASMART® 270, the hybrid ceramic block for:
- Restoring teeth with non-compromised structure (smaller defects)
- Patients with bruxism
- Younger patients

4. Cementation
Indirect partial posterior restorations typically have low retention and visible margins, so they warrant a cement with high bond strength, wear resistance and color stability.
The universal resin cement, G-CEM ONE™ is your first choice of cement in these indications. Use it with G-CEM ONE™ Adhesive Enhancing Primer or G-Premio BOND™ when extra adhesion is needed.
When the preparation (e.g. for an overlay) provides sufficient retention/resistance, this step can be omitted altogether.
