A single anterior crown

Introduction
Making a single unit central incisor look natural and match the adjacent teeth is probably one of the most difficult procedures in dentistry. Masking a dark tooth adds a further degree of difficulty and requires a good understanding of how the various layers will affect the three dimensions of colour; value, hue and chroma as well as the opacity and translucency. It is also important to understand how the crown fits in with the surrounding teeth to achieve a harmonious smile design. Clear and precise communication with the laboratory is paramount. In this case a Procera AllCeram crown shows how excellent aesthetics can be achieved using modern, high strength materials.
