Abstract

Today, patients are increasingly interested in metal-free restorations. Glass-ceramics are particularly suitable for fabricating all ceramic crowns which have the potential to mimic natural teeth characteristics and achieve very pleasant, esthetic outcome. This case report highlights the rehabilitation of esthetic smile that was compromised due to defective old metal ceramic crowns with poor design that lead to periodontal inflammation and poor esthetics. In esthetic zone, Incisors, canines and premolars were restored with Lithium disilicate (E-max press) using lost wax technique.
