title: Restoration of the upper dental arch using Lava all-ceramic crown and bridgework.
abstract: This paper reports the utility of an all-ceramic crown and bridge system, Lava from 3M/ESPE. The background of the case is discussed and the clinical findings and treatment of a patient are outlined. This case illustrates that state of the art zirconium oxide CAD/CAM manufactured frameworks with the latest ceramic systems are a user friendly, highly aesthetic alternative to metal-ceramic restorations.
