title: Full-mouth rehabilitation using a multidisciplinary approach: material and periodontal considerations.
abstract: The complete aesthetic rehabilitation of dentition can be a complicated task. A multidisciplinary approach is often necessary to achieve ideal results. Clinical crown lengthening surgery can develop an aesthetic soft tissue profile and sufficient tooth structure for preparation and restoration. In addition, the development of novel all-ceramic zirconia materials has resulted in the delivery of improved aesthetics, function, and longevity. This article discusses the use of zirconia crowns in multidisciplinary full-mouth rehabilitation and provides recommendations to enhance the performance of these restorations.
