| Abstract: | Abstract: Combining harmonious proportions of final restorations with periodontal health and stability surrounding these restorations is a basic fundamental in esthetic dentistry. However, when one can adversely affect the other, a clinical dilemma arises. This article describes a case with unfavorable proportions that may be worsened due to an existing unfavorable preparation design. A simple approach for diagnosis and treatment of such a situation is presented. |
