A Case of Oral Rehabilitation Using All-Ceramic Crown Restorations

Abstract

Patient: A-34-year-old female presented with a chief complaint of masticatory impairment. After preprosthetic treatment, aesthetic and functional improvement by provisional restorations, the patient was fitted with composite resin-jacket crowns on the molars and all-ceramic crowns on the maxillary incisors.
Discussion: The composite resin prosthesis had become discolored and dull, but the all-ceramic crowns retained their original color because of the properties of the material. Periodontal surgery was performed in the maxillary left molar area to provide adequate axial height for preparation of the abutment teeth, enabling an adequate bridge to be constructed.
Conclusion: All-ceramic crowns have excellent esthetic and functional properties, resulting in patient satisfaction.
