Intraoral Repair of All Ceramic Restoration

Uamporn Vimonkittipong

Nowadays, all-ceramic crowns and bridges become popular due to their beauty and they were developed to have sufficient strengths to replace both anterior and posterior missing teeth. One of the problems encountered after the uses of allceramic restorations is their breaking, which can be found in both veneer and core parts. Therefore, the intraoral repairs with resin composite filling are an alternative for the patients who do not want to remove the old restoration and make a new one. The success of ceramic repairs depends on their bonding strengths of ceramic surfaces and resin composites, which are caused by mechanical and chemical mechanisms. It is necessary to prepare broken ceramic surfaces treatment to fit to the types and the components of the broken ceramics in order to achieve the maximum adhesion. This article described the types and the components of all-ceramic crowns, their survival rates and problems after all-ceramic restoration, the characteristics of broken ceramic and surface treatment of broken all-ceramic crowns for resin composite repair and surface treatment.
