[Manufacture and clinical application of 215 IPS-Empress casting ceramic restorations]
Objective:
To explore the manufacture and clinical application of IPS-Empress casting ceramic restorations.
Methods:
The problems in manufacture and clinical operation of 215 casting ceramic restorations were analyzed.
Results:
In 215 casting ceramic restorations, 12 (5.58%) casting ceramic restorations were affected by clinical design or application, 15 (6.98%) casting ceramic restorations were affected by some manufacture problems, and 14 (6.51%) casting ceramic restorations were affected by clinical try-in. Through 2-3 years' follow-up, the achievement ratio of 215 IPS-Empress casting ceramic restorations was 94.88%, and 11 casting ceramic restorations were affected by some problems.
Conclusion:
Beauty and simultaneous enamel wear are the characteristics of casting ceramic restorations. But because of its brittle, the indications should be strictly selected.
