The effect of core translucency on the aesthetics of all-ceramic restorations

Abstract:
Recent advances in ceramic technology have revolutionized aesthetic dentistry. When treating a single anterior tooth in need of a full-coverage restoration, a multitude of options in restorative materials and techniques is available to the clinician. The learning objective of this article is to present and evaluate a selection of all-ceramic dental materials currently available for aesthetic full-coverage crown restorations. When selecting an all-ceramic system, there are several major factors to consider, including the inherent translucency of the ceramic material and of the adjacent dentition, the color of the prepared tooth, and the forces anticipated in that region. Preparation and restoration of discolored and nondiscolored tooth structure are reviewed. The techniques presented can be utilized to obtain predictable results in the anterior region for aesthetic all-ceramic full-coverage restorations.
