As flaws in preparation design can have significant and detrimental effects on the final result, clinical comprehension of the dimensions and limitations during this step is of utmost importance. This article discusses a case presentation in which porcelain restorations were placed for two adjacent teeth. Although the clinician anticipated placing inlay or onlay restorations, the degree of decay and the location of hairline fractures would necessitate prophylactic removal of a weakened or undermined cusp.
