Properties and Survival Rate of all Ceramics Dental Crown: A Review

Abstract

All-ceramic dental crown restoration is popular because it results in better aesthetic quality than metal alloy restoration. Ceramics also show superior biocompatibility and inertness to human biological systems. However, clinical experience indicates that all-ceramic crowns are not as durable as their porcelain-fused-to-metal counterparts, particularly on molar teeth. New ceramic biomaterials that combine durability with excellent aesthetic qualities have been developed. In this study, several promising bioceramics for dental crown applications are evaluated and compared. The evaluated parameters include strength of the material, survival rate in clinical performance, and aesthetic quality.
