APPLICATION OF METAL-CERAMIC CROWNS IN THE PREPARATION AND GRINDING OF HARD DENTAL TISSUES
Abstract
This article examines the use of metal-ceramic crowns in the grinding and preparation of hard dental tissues. The study outlines the advantages of metal-ceramic crowns, including their high strength, long-term durability, and superior aesthetic qualities. It discusses the procedural stages of tooth preparation, emphasizing the importance of preserving the integrity of hard dental tissues while ensuring optimal crown fitting. The paper also highlights potential complications such as tissue sensitivity, excessive grinding, and challenges in maintaining precise occlusion. Furthermore, the study evaluates the biocompatibility of metal-ceramic materials and their role in preventing periodontal complications. Through detailed analysis, this research contributes to the advancement of restorative dentistry techniques and promotes better clinical practices for improved patient outcomes.
