Abstract
Patient: A 58-year-old female patient diagnosed with metal allergy at a different clinic visited with a request for treatment of an esthetic disturbance due to the detachment of metal crowns from the upper- and lower-left molar parts. The esthetic disturbance and allergy symptoms were improved with zirconia crowns and bridge matching the shade of the natural teeth.
Discussion: The occlusal function and periodontal tissues have remained in good condition for more than three years. No allergic reactions have been observed.
This suggests that rehabilitation with zirconia prostheses after removing the metal is effective for patients suffering from metal allergy.
Conclusion: The zirconia crowns improved the patient’s metal allergy and esthetic disturbance.
