title: A predictable approach to an all-ceramic full-arch restoration.
abstract: This mandibular restoration case using e.max® demonstrates a predictable approach to placing an all-ceramic full-arch restoration. The case also discusses the advantages of using full-contour zirconia (FCZ) for its beauty as well as its resistance to breakage, in light of the current trend towards better tooth morphology and color with FCZ restorations. An additional benefit of FCZ is that the soft-tissue response around units using this highly biocompatible material is much like that at the margins of natural teeth, making it an ideal restorative option, especially when the patient's bite is being opened.
