Maxillary Full-Arch Zirconia over Titanium Bar
Problem
Severe micro-movement in provisional causing repeated acrylic fractures. Patient exhibited extreme bruxism with limited interocclusal space.
Protocol
Milled Grade-5 Titanium sub-structure to guarantee rigidity. Superimposed with individual high-strength Zirconia crowns to allow isolated repairs. Passive fit verified via automated collision check prior to milling.
Result
Zero mechanical failures at 24-month follow-up. Absolute passive seating achieved at clinical delivery with zero chairside adjustment.
Anterior Aesthetic Zone: E.max on Custom Zirconia Abutments
Problem
High aesthetic demand (teeth #8, #9) with thin gingival biotype. Standard titanium abutments causing graying through tissue.
Protocol
Customized Zirconia abutments milled to optimal emergence profiles. Lithium Disilicate (E.max) crowns fabricated with layered incisal effects for natural opalescence.
Result
Tissue integrated perfectly to zirconia geometry. No visible metal show-through, matching adjacent natural dentition seamlessly.
