Are you placing the most acceptable crowns? The crown revolution of the past decade is stabilizing! PFM and cast gold alloy are nearly dead, unfortunately. Should you still be using them? We have in-vivo clinical research on crowns—22 years on zirconia-based, and 11 years on full-zirconia and lithium disilicate. Which are best? Are the new “esthetic zirconias” as acceptable as the former full-strength ones? Are digital scanners mandatory and better than elastomers? Should you have a scanner? Techniques, materials, devices, and technologies related to crowns will be shown and discussed.
Learning Objectives:
List and compare the indirect crown restorations now available
Discuss current crown techniques, and the materials necessary for them
Decide if you need to change the crown types you are using
