The ultimate aesthetic challenge in dentistry: a single crown on a maxillary central incisor
From Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2018 | Pages 415-424
Article
The integrity of anterior teeth is of paramount importance for most patients. Aside from functional aspects, aesthetic issues also play a role.1,2,3,4 Due to their prominent position, this is particularly true for upper central incisors. Any defects of these teeth, such as caries, chipping or fractures, visible restorations, discolorations, anomalies in shape, alignment and position within the dental arch, may cause restrictions in the social life of affected patients. If there is a need for replacement of the tooth, rehabilitation by means of a traditional fixed 3-unit bridge or an implant can compensate for the tooth loss, however, only at the cost of substantial hard tissue removal of adjacent teeth or a surgical procedure such as implant insertion. In the case of maxillary incisors in particular, prosthodontic restoration can often only be achieved with considerable additional treatments, such as augmentation of hard and soft tissues. Therefore, dentists should take into account all aspects of treatment, including a team of different specialists, in order to preserve the natural tooth.
