Abstract

The aim of this article was to present the CAD/CAM-assisted Procera system as a new all-ceramic full-coverage crown system. New technologies need to be evaluated technically and clinically to be able to fulfill the requests for aesthetics, physical strength and biocompatibility when restoring the anterior and posterior region. The Procera AllCeram system offers the opportunity to fabricate densely sintered, high-purity, tooth-colored copings. Mechanical properties of the Procera alumina coping, indications and contraindications and additional applications are discussed. The clinical and technical procedures and any specific limitations and peculiarities are summarized and documented with clinical cases in a step-by-step illustration.
