All Zirconia: A New Material for Posteriors with Minimal Tooth Preparation

Abstract

Background: Planning and executing the restorative rehabilitation of a decimated dentition is probably one of the most intellectually and technically demanding tasks being faced by a dentist. Full mouth rehabilitation involves restoring the dentate or a partially dentate mouth to provide an orderly pattern of occlusal contact and articulation that will optimize oral function, occlusal stability and esthetics. This case report demonstrates a full mouth rehabilitation of a patient for esthetically and functionally compromised dentition by a recently introduced ′metal-free′ restoration. The final prosthesis ensured a restoration resulting in predictable posterior disclusion and anterior guidance in harmony with the condylar path.
