Summary:
Statement of problem: Clinical reports of feldspathic porcelain veneered-zirconia crowns placed on teeth with knifeedge marginal finish lines have recently been presented but with data available for only a limited number of crowns in the anterior maxilla. Purpose: This retrospective study evaluated the clinical success and survival of feldspathic porcelain veneered-zirconia crowns fabricated with knife-edge margins in a private practice. Material and methods: One hundred and two teeth (51 anterior, 51 posterior) were prepared with knife-edge margins and restored with feldspathic porcelain veneered-zirconia crowns. The modified California Dental Association (CDA) criteria were used to clinically evaluate subjects recalled between May and December 2010. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Results: The mean follow-up time was 20.9 months (SD, 13.6; range, 10-72). One tooth had to be extracted because of an endodontic problem not related with the restoration, 2 crowns had minor chipping of the veneering porcelain, while no crowns exhibited fracture of the zirconia core. Conclusions: In this retrospective evaluation, feldspathic porcelain veneered-zirconia crowns with knife-edge margins provided clinical performance similar to that reported with other margin designs.

Tissue Management for Aesthitc Success with Posterior Restorations
Due in part to the positive tissue response to metal-ceramic crowns fabricated with Captek™ substructures, clinicians can now provide an aesthetic restoration with healthy supporting periodontium for their patients. All indirect restorations, however, depend on an accurate impression of the preparation and proper tissue management throughout provisionalization. Even after careful tooth preparation, the restorative site often fills with blood, intracrevicular and intraoral fluids, and the delicate…

An Esthetic Alternative in Full-Coverage Restorations
All too often, restorative dentists are faced with the dilemma of not being able to provide the ceramist the optimal space for maximum esthetics. The reasons are numerous, yet the problem still remains. The dental industry, along with the dental laboratory industry, has developed numerous full-coverage restorative options to obtain maximum esthetics. These include, but are not limited to, feldsphatic porcelain crowns or porcelain jacket crowns, In-Ceram (Vita Zahnfabrik; Distributor, Vident) and…
