Abstract
The esthetic and functional rehabilitation of a missing anterior tooth is one of the greatest challenges that the dentist faces. Generally accepted treatment modalities include implant-supported prosthesis or fixed dental prosthesis. Recent advances in technology and dental materials have prompted the use of all-ceramic crowns which offers the potential for improved aesthetic results compared to conventional ceramo-metal crowns. Silica/glass-based allceramic crowns are more translucent and have better optical properties. However, they are mechanically weaker and need to be used in conjunction with resin bonding cements. To overcome such shortcomings, newer ceramic materials like Zirconia have been established during past few years which have better mechanical and optical properties. This case report summarizes the use of Zirconia crown for achieving the best possible esthetic rehabilitation of a missing upper right central incisor in a 35 year old female patient.
