Cervical Margin Relocation; from a different perspective
Posterior proximal cavities often extend below the surrounding gingival margin, and if an indirect restoration is indicated, this may complicate impression taking/scanning and adhesive luting. Elevating this cervical margin coronally is called Cervical Margin Relocation (CMR); which was first proposed in 1998 and became popular among clinicians. The small amount of composite applied to deep cervically located margins has the goal to facilitate impression taking and luting procedures. However, the literature supporting CMR is scarce, especially regarding clinical studies. In this lecture, the evolution of CMR and its clinical application procedures will be discussed.
