All-ceramic Fixed Partial Denture: Clinical Considerations in Case Selection
For esthetic reasons, all-ceramic fixed partial dentures are increasingly being used for partially edentulous patients. This article discusses criteria for choosing all-ceramic fixed partial dentures according to clinical studies. The development and clinical considerations for treating patients with these restorations are described.
