Topic:
Evidence-Based Selection of Contemporary Ceramic
Systems
The contemporary restorative dentist has an
increasing number of ceramic systems that can be
utilized to restore teeth that require full
coverage. Many of these systems have received
extensive, aggressive marketing, but have a limited
evidence base. This presentation will compare
different systems in terms of their relative
esthetic potential and their potential for long-term
service. Suggestions will be made for the use of
specific systems in specific clinical situations. |
