## Resource

A fundamental shift away from traditional, tooth-destructive restorative methods. The author contends that the common practice of placing subgingival margins often leads to periodontal inflammation, pulpal damage, and unpredictable results. By contrast, the supragingival approach utilizes modern adhesive dentistry to preserve natural tooth structure and keep restorative margins above the gum line. This method is presented as a healthier and more biocompatible alternative to full crowns, which often require aggressive preparation. The source serves as a practical guide for clinicians to achieve esthetic and long-lasting results through minimally invasive techniques like onlays and veneers. Ultimately, the text seeks to overcome the dental profession's reliance on mechanical retention in favor of reliable, bond-based restoration.
