	Service Information Although the metal / ceramic crown ( porcelain fused to metal crown ) is popular because of its strength and cosmetic, the all-ceramic crown remains the most esthetic restoration for duplicating individual anterior teeth. All - ceramic inlays,onlays,veneers and crowns can provide some of the most esthetically pleasing restoration currently available. They can be made to match natural tooth structure,and translucency. Well-made all-ceramic restoration can be virtually indistinguishable from unrestored natural teeth. High-strength ceramics The chief disadvantage of the early all-ceramic crown was their low strength, which limited their use to low stress situation,such as anterior teeth.More recently,improved materials and techniques have been introduced in an attempt to overcome the disadvantages inherent in the traditional method. These improvement particulary the use of higher strength ceramics and adhesives for bonding the ceramic restoration to tooth structure. Indication 1. Extensive tooth destruction as a result of caries,trauma,especially if esthetic considerations are paramount such as anterior tooth. 2. Existing previous restoration that precludes the use of a move conservative restoration. 3. A root canal treated tooth in conjunction with a suitable supporting structure (post and core ) Procedure The tooth has been drilled or cut around as the same like the metal-ceramic crown preparation.Because the all-ceramic crown is thicker than metal-ceramic crown,the tooth has been cut a little bit more deep especially on the back side of the front tooth. Cementation The all-ceramic crown is fixed to the tooth with resin cement,the very strong cement. Duration of operation 10 days, 2 visits Anesthetic Local anesthesia.
