Aesthetic solution for ceramic restoration on cast metal core

Abstract

Introduction: In order to satisfy the aesthetic desires of the population, by masking the restorations was the search for the evolution of restorative materials enabling the introduction of metal-free materials. But previous studies that have been made with metal structures often cannot be removed and therefore require devices that can be masked, because there is no desire for a total passage of light avoiding dim reflection of these funds. For these situations, you must opt for a ceramic system to provide a degree of opacity, without losing its characteristics of light transmission, reflectance and saturation. Case report: In case the patient had clinical a metal ceramic crown on the molten core element 21, it was confirmed radiographically the core could not be removed because it would fracture risk to the tooth. We chose to use an opaquer ceramic framework to prevent the passage of light over dark metal.  The material of choice was zirconia ceramic by high flexural strength, allowing it to function as a framework for crowns. Conclusion: With the correct application of ceramic coverage on Caqueta noted that it is possible to mask the gray color of the metal through the knowledge of the optical material, the correct use of these properties, opacity and translucidus, and a close contact between dentists and prosthetic.
