Abstract

Aesthetics is one of the main factors of success for a dental restorations. Nowadays patients claim more and more -besides longevity – to receive esthetic restorations that blend harmoniously with the surrounding teeth and tissues. The successful application of different all-ceramic materials is dependent upon clinicians’ ability to match the ceramic materials to the manufacturing techniques and cementation or bonding procedures. The aim of our study was to present the technical steps for a special clinical case due to bruxism, for which the choice of restoration was metallic post-cores in order to insure optimal mechanical properties and with milled zirconia crowns.
