The use of adhesive metal partial crowns to restore attrition defects: a case report.
A patient presented with severe loss of enamel on the palatal surface of the maxillary anterior teeth, resulting from attrition. After correction of the mandibular occlusal position, the palatal defects were restored with metal partial crowns cemented with an adhesive cement. One of the six restorations dislodged during 4 years of observation, but was replaced successfully.
