Can u gimme some information about porcelain crowns?
Q. I need a crown for one of my upper central front teeth, my dentist has suggested that I have the crown which is totally made of porcelain – it is the most expensive option but my main concern is will it be as strong as the porcelain crown with the metal interior?
A.
There are different types of all porcelain crowns with flexural strengths ranging from 56MPa to 900Mpa. If your teeth are not especially worn all porcelian crowns do very well – even in bruxers the zirconium crowns900
pa seem to be doing well if properly made. Porcelain bonded to metal substructure can also fail as the prcelain can chip if the bite gets in the way
