Esthetic repair of porcelain in a complete-mouth reconstruction: a case report

This paper presents a relatively simple method of repairing a large porcelain fracture in aporcelain-fused-to-metal crown that is part of a multi-unit fixed partial denture. The technique involves fitting a modified porcelain-fused-to-metal crown over the original damaged crown following some preparation of the original crown. This technique is of special value when a permanently cemented multi-unit restoration is involved, eliminating the need to replace the entire restoration and providing a durable estethic result.
