Adhesive placement of a zirconia fixed partial denture to replace a maxillary central incisor: a clinical report

The replacement of a single maxillary incisor is an esthetic challenge. Many options provide various degrees of longevity and ease of fabrication. The introduction of zirconia-supported fixed partial dentures (FPDs) has seen increased use in the last several years. However, abutment preparation guidelines and laboratory fabrication have to adhere to the guidelines established by the manufacturers and clinical researchers. Zirconia FPDs can provide long-term strength and esthetics if they are designed and fabricated appropriately.
