The way to create the occlusal anatomy on a direct bonded posterior restoration is a three part process:
1) The first and most important aspect is to mentally visualize the anatomy that must be obtained when the restoration is completed. In this manner, when the composite layering is created, the proper amount of dentin and enamel material is utilized. If one does not visualized the final anatomy from the onset, it is possible not enough room has been allowed for the placement of the enamel layer; therefore if any occlusal adjustments are done at the end of the occlusal adjustment, the enamel layering effects will be lost.
2) Most of the anatomy is created during the layering technique and prior to polymerization.
3) Final detailed anatomy can be refined if needed with a shofu robot diamond bur(7104 or 7106).
