Patient complains of a broken dental crown on tooth #28 that was made many years ago. Tooth #28 is not considered a front tooth, but it will be visible at the buccal corridor (corner of the smile). The most common tooth-color-only crowns are porcelain crowns, and this material has come a long way. There are many choices for different situations, especially eMax and LAVA with great aesthetics and Bruxzir with unparallel flexural strength. Our dental lab technician was able to fabricate a beautiful crown for us. Our patient and I are very pleased with the result.
There was some abrasion on #30 (tooth with the gold crown), but the crown appears intact. We decided not to change the crown purely for aesthetic reason.
