USING THE ER, CR: YSGG FOR CONSERVATIVE CLASS I-VI PREPARATI

Plus, the Er, Cr: YSGG allows for conservative preparation of worn incisal edges, subgingival class Vs and, to the delight of any dentist hoping to practice minimally invasive microdentistry, the Er, Cr: YSGG is an elegant tool for class II preparations.
