Fixed Restoration Guide
| Indications | Characteristics | Preparation requirements | Bonding/Cementation guidelines | Material Composition | |
| Bruxzir | Posterior crowns Posterior bridges | Metal-free Superior Strength Low Esthetics | Any margin preparation acceptable; slightly chamfer preferred Conservation preparation similar to a full cast gold 1.0mm of occlusion space is ideal |
Ceramir Crown & Bridge or a resin-reinforced glass ionomer cement. Remove saliva contamination w/ IvoClean paste & use self adhesive resin cements to increase retention. | Monolithic Zirconia |
| PFZ porcelain fused to zircoina | Posterior & anterior crowns Posterior & anterior bridges | Metal-free Moderate strength High esthetics Unlimited bridge span |
1mm chamfer margin 1.5mm axial wall reduction 2mm iscisal/occlusal reduction required |
Ceramir Crown & Bridge or a resin-reinforced glass ionomer cement. Remove saliva contamination w/ IvoClean paste & use self adhesive resin cements to increase retention. | Zirconium oxide substructure with feldspathic porcelain |
| e.Max | Posterior & anterior crowns Veneers Inlays & onlays | Metal-free High strength Superior esthetics |
1.5mm occlusal and axial wall reduction 1mm chamfer margin required | Bonding: Crowns, veneers, inlays & onlays when tooth preps are primarily supra-gingival & isolation is possible. Cementation: Indicated for full coverage crowns only | Lithium dislocate |
| Full-Cast | Posterior crowns Posterior bridges Inlays & onlays | High strength Very low esthetics Kind of opposite dentition |
Feather-edge margin preparations; however any margin preparation may be used | Convention cementation of your choice | Au, Pd, or Ni/Cr alloy substructure |
| PFM porcelain fused to metal | Posterior crowns Posterior bridge | Moderate strength Moderates esthetics | Any Margin design with 1.0-1.5mm reduction for color 1.5-2.0mm reduction at incisal-occlusal & facial | Convention cementation of your choice | Au, Pd, or Ni/Cr allow substructure with feldspathetic porcelain |
