metal-ceramic restoration, otherwise known as _____
PFM restoration (porcelain fused to metal)
one of the least conservative of tooth structures:
______ because incisal and occlusal surfaces are
always subjected to forces
thicker metal
one of the least conservative of tooth structures:
_______ maximum for incisal and _____ for molars
2 mm, 1.5 mm
porcelain fuse at temperatures of ____ and gold alloys melt
at this temperature
960 C

is a major consideration in the
fabrication of metal ceramic restoration
special alloy

C
→ teeth that require complete coverage
→ gingival involvement
→ in conjunction with post & crown
METAL-CERAMIC CROWN PREPARATION
can be modified for cingulum & occlusal restorations
METAL-CERAMIC CROWN PREPARATION
→ if all-ceramic crown is contraindicated
o not efficacious for long spans
METAL-CERAMIC CROWN PREPARATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
large pulp chamber
intact buccal wall
presence of active caries
→ untreated periodontal disease
→ when more conservative retainer is technically feasible
METAL-CERAMIC CROWN PREPARATION
ADVANTAGES
→ strength of cast metal with the esthetics of ceramics
→ retentive qualities are excellent
→ easy correction of axial form
→ preparation is much less demanding than for partial-coverage
retainers
METAL-CERAMIC CROWN PREPARATION
DISADVANTAGES
→ requires significant tooth reduction
→ difficulty obtaining accurate occlusion in glazed porcelain → shade selection can be difficult
→ inferior esthetics in comparison with all-ceramic crown
→ subject to brittle fracture
→ increases potential for periodontal disease
→ many procedural steps are required
