Free Metal Restoration of a Dilapidated Maxillary Central Incisor: A Clinical Report

Mohamed Chebil, Zied Fedaoui, Mounir Cherif

Abstract: The restoration of the dilapidated maxillary central incisor is a frequent task in our practice. The systematic use of metal-ceramic crowns and inlaycores should stop. Metal-ceramic restoration were the standard prostheses for both esthetic and mechanical requirements. But they have many limits and disadvantages in relation with metal alloy. Currently, all-ceramic crowns and Adhesive Corono-Radicular Reconstructions should be considered as the optimal treatment.
