IPS Empress. Restoration of a single anterior crown

Signature. 1995 Summer:2-5.

Abstract

All-ceramic restorations have gained patient acceptance and are increasingly being used in aesthetic appearance-related restorations. This case report of a single anterior crown matching natural dentition utilizes some of the new special-effect ceramic powders designed for use with the layering technique. These powders help to properly replicate incisal, mamelon, and gingival areas. The clinical procedure is described, using photographs of the case to illustrate the steps involved.
