All-ceramic restorations are an integral part of contemporary dental practice. The range of ceramic restorations includes porcelain veneers, ceramic inserts and inlays, all-ceramic crowns, as well as extensive all-ceramic restorations on natural teeth and implants. Prerequisites for optimal aesthetic performance and longevity of all-ceramic restorations are a thorough treatment plan, very conservative reduction of enamel and dentin, as well as the consistent application of modern pretreatment of hard tissues and adhesive cementation protocols.
Clinical handling of all-ceramic restorations is demanding. It is a very satisfying procedure, but also a great responsibility for the clinical dentist to offer reliable all-ceramic restorations that are aesthetically pleasing and functional. Naturally longevity of the restorations should also be anticipated. Through many clinical cases, important clinical parameters that define the success and predictability of ceramic restorations will be discussed step by step.
