All Ceramics for Crown and Bridge

As an increasing number of patients request metal free restorations, labs have worked to offer all ceramic materials that are both functionally and aesthetically equal to or superior to the PFM. Today, there are several materials that meet these requirements.

The options can be classified into two general categories: Zirconia based all ceramics (such as Lava, Prismatik or Generic Zirconia) and Non-Zirconia based all ceramics such as IPS E.Max, IPS Empress, and Procera Alumina.

We will discuss these materials over the next several blog posts.
