title: Implant-supported fixed dental rehabilitation with monolithic zirconia: a clinical case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Veneer chipping in bilayered ceramic restorations is a current problem reported with significant frequency.
  
  
  METHODS
  This clinical report describes the use of a monolithic, implant-supported restoration with gingiva-colored ceramics. Good esthetic and functional results were achieved with no complications reported after 3 years.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Prosthetic rehabilitation using monolithic zirconia may help to prevent complications associated with bilayered ceramics systems. Further studies are essential to provide long-term data about the performance of this type of prostheses.
