All Ceramic Crowns

All Ceramic Crowns are fabricated entirely out of a glass-like compound such as porcelain.  There are 2 ceramic materials that are the clinicians’ favorites today:

Lithium Disilicate and Zirconia.

·      Lithium Disilicate restorations are most esthetic restorations in dentistry today.  These restorations match the esthetic characteristics of natural teeth very closely.  Multiple-unit restorations (fixed bridges) are not recommended at this time, suggests Dr. Anna Lee.

Lithium Disilicate restorations are good choices for single unit restorations, both anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth.

·      Zirconia restorations are strong restorations but are not as esthetic as the lithium disilicate restorations. Early zirconia materials were opaque and white and were not recommended for front teeth restorations.

Zirconia restorations are good choices for single unit restorations for the posterior (back) teeth.
