Advancements in technology and biomaterials have led to increased use of dental ceramics for aesthetic restorations, with newer materials like zirconia being introduced. Zirconia crowns offer better aesthetics and are more conservative compared to traditional porcelain fused to metal crowns.
With the advancement of new technologies and biomaterials, the need for aesthetic restorations have resulted in augmented utilization of dental ceramics for restoring anterior and posterior teeth. Due to the short comings of traditional dental ceramics, newer materials have been introduced. Zirconia is one such material. Tooth preparation for all ceramic restoration is more conservative than porcelain fused to metal preparation as space for metal is an important requirement. All ceramics crowns are aesthetically better than porcelain fused crowns to metal because of its opaque property. This article describes a case of anterior aesthetic rehabilitation with zirconia crowns after orthodontic treatment of a patient with congenitally missing maxillary bilateral lateral incisors.
