PORCELAIN JACKET
CROWNS AND ALL
CERAMIC CROWNS
Dr. Mausi N. Shirley
_ -Definition
+ Ceramics are inorganic compounds formed of metallic or semi metallic
and non-metallic elements, which are subjected to high treatment(firing)
for a time period to achieve desirable properties
+ Ceramics produce superior aesthetics of all crown restorations.
. They may also wear less
+ Anterior teeth are preferred due to aestheti
compared to molars due to their function.
+ However these restorations are more susceptible to fracture due to
being made entirely of ceramic which is a brittle substance.History
+ Ceramics use in dentistry dates as far back as 1889 when Charles H. Land
designed the porcelain “jacket” crown by using high fusing feldspathic
porcelain.
+ The first modern porcelain crowns were used in 1903. An improvement in
fracture resistance of all porcelain crown was later reported by Mc Lean
and Hughes in 1965 who introduced aluminous core ceramic.
+ The all-porcelain crown system, despite its esthetic advantages, failed to
gain popularity due to its brittle nature & shrinkage. The introduction of a
“shrink-free” all-ceramic crown system(Cerestore, Coors Biomedical) and
a castable glass-ceramic crown system (Dicer, Dentsply/York Division,
York) in the 1980s provided additional flexibility for achieving esthetic
results, introduced advanced ceramics with innovative processing methods,
and stimulated a renewed interest in all-ceramic crowns.In 1993, materials arrived that allowed skilled professionals to reach
new heights of realism in dental ceramics. The first was Lucite-
reinforced ceramic, a tooth-colored porcelain that improved strength.
The Cerestore system gave dentists the ability to create dental
crowns in the office using a solid block of dental porcelain. The
system uses CAD/CAM to create a custom crown using an accurate
fast milling unit. Cerestore means no need for an outside dental lab
to complete, and less waiting time for the patient.Advantages of dental ceramics
+ Superior aesthetics, made of translucent porcelain, which reflects light and
looks almost exactly like natural teeth blending with them.
+ Biocompatible
+ Long-term color stability
+ Wear resistance
+ Possibility of shade manipulation
+ High compressive strengthdisadvantages
+ Can be used as single restoration only
+ The least conservative restoration in terms of preparation
+ Brittle nature of material, (low tensile strength).
+ Reduced strength compared to metal ceramic crowns.
+ Wear of opposing teeth enamel
« Fractured crowns cannot be repaired.
+ Expensiveindications
+ Discoloration e.g fluorosis, tetracycline staining,unfavorable Root canal
treatment staining
+ Genetic dental defects like amelogenesis imperfecta.
+ Metal allergies.
+ Crowns for dental implants.
+ Instances where plastic restorations can not be retained in grossly
carious teeth or fractured teeth
+ Bruxism,severe attrition of teeth.
+ Patient preferenceContraindications
« Handicapped patients/patients with compromised medical condition
+ Severe mottled fluorosis due to brittle enamel which predisposes
restoration to open margins.
+ Contact sports
+ Young patients due to large pulp chambers
+ Short clinical crowns where there's lack of enough vertical height to
support incisal & facial surfaces of restoration.
+ Thin teeth faciolingually.
+ When superior strength is requiredTypes of dental ceramics
+ Porcelain jacket crowns
+ Aluminous porcelain
+ Aluminous reinforcement zirconia
+ Lithium disilicate IPS-E-Max
If an all-ceramic crown is placed posteriorly, one made using zirconia
would likely make the best choice due to the greater strength
characteristics that this material offers.Requirements/principles
Retention and resistance(taper,surface area, freedom of displacement)
Adequate marginal integrity
Structural durability
Good cement retention
Preservation of supporting tooth structure and periodontium
Aesthetic consideration
Relief of 50 um for luting cement
Matching cote & thermal conductivity to enamel/dentine
Stiffening without optically dense backgrounds
Should not obscure pulp outline in radiograph
Future ret scope
Light transmission should approach that of dentine and enamel
Surface quality (smooth )« The decision to make full coverage crowns should only be considered
after a partial veneer has been considered unfavorable because of
inadequate retention or aesthetics.
+ Thorough diagnosis to be done before crowns are considered.Preparation Criteria
+ 1 Criteria- Axial walls: Taper of the axial walls should result in a 6 degree taper. A taper
of To degrees has been proposed as betag achievable clinically while still affording
adequaté retention (Nordlander 1988, Weed 1980)
24 Criteria- Tooth structure reduction should be about 1.2- 2mm,
3! Criteria- Height of anatomical crown should be approx 2/3 of the tooth
4 Criteria- For anterior teeth, the Incisal edge of the final preparation should be flat and
placed at a slight inclination toward the linguogingival to meet forces on the incisal edge
and prevent shearing.
5‘ Criteria- Planar occlusal reduction should follow the occlusal morphology of the tooth
6 Criteria- Margins: Shoulder finish should be all round, Width of the shoulder should be
1,2-1.5mim wide to provide a flat seat to resist forces directed from incisal area,Fig. 1-3 To produce an optimal 6-degree taper.

+ Depth orientation grooves, 1.2-1.4mm deep are placed on labial and 2.0mm
deep incisal surfaces with coarse grit flat end tapered diamond bur- 3 labial
grooves cut parallel to gingival 1/3 of labial surface. 2 grooves parallel to
incisal 2/3 of uncut labial surface. The area between the grooves is then
reduced. The grooves are used to accurately gauge the depth of tooth
reduction.
+ The labial surface preparation is done in 2 planes; gingival and incisal half to
Sot adequate clearance for good esthetics without encroaching on the
pulp.
+ The gingival portion of the labial surface is reduced to a depth of 1.2-1.4 mm.
This reduction extends around the labio-proximal line angles and fades out
on lingual aspect of the proximal surfaces.1.124, wan atom ng popes wos a rom ten sarc rr

+ Approximately 1.5 to 2.0 mm of tooth structure is removed. Tooth
structure remaining between depth orientation grooves on incisal
portion of labial surface is planed away.
+ Incisal reduced edge should be parallel to the original incisal edge and
perpendicular to occlusal forces in anterior teeth.
+ Incisal bevel should be near 45 degrees to reduce stress at the shoulderAxial reduction
+ Extend the labial reduction to the proximal surface as far into contact area.
+ With a needle shaped bur cut the tooth structure in downward movement
from incisal edge
+ Break the contact without damaging the adjacent tooth using the long needle
diamond fissure bur. A matrix band can be used.
+ With the long tapered bur remove the tooth structure to achieve 6 degree
taper,maximum of 16.
+ Extend to the lingual surface.
+ Precaution must be taken to avoid damaging the interdental papilla. The

problem of an underprepared proximal surtace,
Wwhich loads to overconiouring of the restora:
tion.Finishing the Preparation
+ Round off the axial walls and eliminate any undercuts
+ Round off any distinct positive angles on areas like the incisal edge to avoid
porcelain fracture
+ The shoulder is smoothened using a binangle chisel
+ Rounded internal line angles
+ Because the adhesion of dental cements depends primarily on the projections
of the cement into microscopic irregularities on the prepared tooth
surfaces,the prepared tooth surface should not be highly polished.
+ Some of the Luting cements used are Zinc phosphate,Zinc poly carboxylate,
Glass ionomer cements.+ An impression is then taken and a die cast model of the tooth made
after which the porcelain crown is fabricated in the lab or milled
directly.Precautions
Avoid burning of the tooth by ensuring adequate flow of water
coolant,dry cutting should be avoided even in non vital teeth. Dry cutting
introduces microfractures in the enamel which contributes to future
marginal failure.
Margins should be placed supragingivally whenever possible.
