All ceramic restorations are not effective as retainers for a fixed dental prosthesis although the strongest of the slip cast materials in ceram zirconia and the higher strength pressed systems ips empress 2 may be suitable for anterior applications.
All ceramic crown anterior.
A hybrid lithium disilicate full coverage crown provides excellent esthetics and strength.
9 the term hybrid refers to an incisal third cut back by the lab either cad premilling or after milling by hand and stacked with layering ceramic for depth and translucency.
If an all ceramic crown is placed one made using zirconia or lithium disilicate would probably make the better choice due to the greater strength characteristics that these materials offer.
An all ceramic crown also promotes good tissue response and only mild reduction of the facial surfaces is required.
