Abstract :

Oral rehabilitation is often a challenging situation for the Prosthodontist when there is multiple loss of teeth. Fewer abutments to take support further adds to the problem. In many such instances stress eakers are used to reduce the stress acting on a lone standing abutment tooth. Young adults further have aesthetic and social concerns especially when maxillary anterior teeth are missing or compromised. This clinical report describes a successful approach for the treatment of an aesthetically compromised dentition with the loss of vertical dimension and multiple missing teeth in the maxillary arch in a young adult, using CAD/CAM milled layered Zirconia crowns and a Zirconia stress eaker.
