Crown and Fixed Partial Denture Contours for Anterior Teeth
The main goal of crown and fixed partial denture treatment in anterior teeth is to solve esthetic problem. Apart from the ability to creating restoration color which is similar to tooth color, the restorations should have congruent with contour, size, length and angulation of the natural teeth in order to achieve esthetic fulfillment.
