title: Clinical application of all-ceramic fixed partial dentures and crowns.
abstract: The esthetic demands of patients have increased considerably during recent years. Due to this increasing interest in esthetics, as well as concerns about toxic and allergic reactions, the use of all-ceramic restorations has increased. One of the systems introduced for all-ceramic restorations is the IPS Empress system. This article examines one all-ceramic restoration system, IPS Empress, and presents patient cases in which all-ceramic crowns and fixed partial dentures have been utilized.
