Smile renaissance: Monolithic marvels with cad-cam crown

Abstract

Progress in materials science, bonding protocols, and innovative manufacturing techniques promotes the creation of new ceramic materials. These advancements aim to address the growing need for fixed prosthodontics restorations that are not only highly aesthetic but also biocompatible and durable. The recently launched ALD ceramic, designed for the "Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics" (CEREC) system, yields restorations that are both aesthetically satisfying and superior clinically. The reduced processing time, coupled with elevated flexural strength, enhances efficiency of chairside workflows. In this particular case report, restoration was deemed necessary for anterior tooth. This tooth underwent preparation, scanning, and design processes using CEREC-Omnicam, with subsequent fabrication using MCXL The rehabilitation accomplished with the ALD blocks resulted in a visually pleasing and functionally sound outcome. Notably, this approach contributed to a more efficient overall treatment time, resulting in heightened satisfaction for both the patient and the practitioner.
