- precious metals
- cobalt-chromium alloy.
Advantages of cermets:
- Great aesthetics. According to external characteristics, the crowns resemble natural teeth.
- Durability and non-fading.
- Functionality.
Minuses:
- A lot of enamel is polished.
- The need to depulp natural teeth.
Indications for the installation of metal-ceramic crowns:
- Violation of the natural shape, shade of teeth
- High degree of abrasion of tooth enamel
- If it is necessary to replace worn dentures.
Contraindications
Do not forget that it is better to refuse porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns in the absence of two or more teeth in one row.
Installation of cermet structures
At the initial stage, the specialist creates a metal frame, which the dentist tries on for the patient. If everything fits, then the technician applies ceramics to the workpiece. After that, the structure is again tried on and cemented.
Prosthetics of the anterior dentition and chewing teeth
Undoubtedly, metal-free crowns are more suitable for anterior teeth, however, metal-ceramic constructions have excellent aesthetic characteristics. In addition, they are quite durable.
Metal-ceramic crown on an implant
If a tooth is missing, it is possible to resort to implantation. The connection of crowns with implants is carried out using abutments by means of cement or screw fixation.
