title: Adhesive protocol for the utilization of aluminum oxide crown restorations.
abstract: The ultimate objective of anterior tooth restoration is to achieve an aesthetic appearance that is in harmony with the natural dentition. It is often challenging to replicate the optical characteristics (i.e., transparency and translucency) of a natural tooth without utilizing all-ceramic crown restorations, which may provide enhanced aesthetics and biocompatibility in comparison to metal-based treatment. This article demonstrates the use of all-ceramic technology with a contemporary adhesive procedure as a means to achieve improved aesthetic results in the restoration of the anterior dentition.
