Abstract

ANDRADE, ALESSANDRA PEREIRA DE et al. Aesthetic rehabilitation using Y-TZP ceramic system: a case report. RPG, Rev. pós-grad. [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.1, pp. 28-31. ISSN 0104-5695.

Ceramic restorative materials have become an excellent alternative to both the anterior and posterior FPDs, due to advances in mechanical and aesthetic properties. This case report describes the use of a fixed partial denture to replace three units of a first premolar. The ceramic system used consists of a CAD-CAM processing of a ceramic base for yttrium stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) and its veneering ceramic. The clinical protocol and advantages of this treatment option are discussed.
