FRONTAL ORAL REHABILITATION WITH MODERN TECHNIQUES OF RECONSTRUCTIVE PROSTHETIC

Abstract

The aim of the study is to correctly assess the aesthetic and psycho – social impact the frontal faceted ceramic crowns or zirconium skeleton restorations have on patients. Material and methods For proper evaluation, we chose a group of patients who have opted for aesthetic reconstruction, either by full ceramic veneers , crowns or zirconium skeleton, and have been previously treated by means of classic metal-ceramic restoration or that suffered various tooth discoloration in the front. Observation of the patients 2 years after the prosthetic reconstruction yielded good results. Results and discussions Due to low mechanical resistance of ceramic in comparison to pressed metal-ceramic prosthetic restorations can be used only in areas where excessive occlusal forces are not expected. Conclusions Patients were satisfied with the results both in terms of aesthetics and function, and evolution of these types of prosthetic reconstructions in time.
