Yep. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I can't see where 2mm of tooth structure
is going to come from on the interproximals for a crown, and I think
even a die hard Cerec user might have a little trouble with
contamination trying to cement a restoration there too. (especially
the first molar)

Poor indirect restorations also fail and then you do look like a
bad guy.

If I kicked every patient out of the practice that didn't listen
and obey 100%, I'd get pretty lonely.
