Abstract:
All-ceramic materials have become an excellent option for both anterior and posterior fixed partial dentures (FPDs) due to advances in esthetic and mechanical properties. This clinical report describes the use of an all-ceramic inlay-retained three-unit FPD for replacement of a maxillary second premolar. Prosthetic restorative materials consisted of a CAD-CAM processed presintered yttrium stabilized zirconium oxide (Y-TZP) framework and a fluoroapatite veneering ceramic. The minimally invasive preparation technique and advantages of this highly esthetic and resistant treatment option are discussed.
