This paper presents a relatively simple method of repairing a large porcelain fracture in a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown that is part of a multi-unit fixed partial denture. The technique involves fitting a "modified" porcelain-fused-to-metal crown over the original damaged crown following some preparation of the original crown. This technique is of special value when a permanently cemented multi-unit restoration is involved, eliminating the need to replace the entire restoration and providing a durable esthetic result.

Aim: Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations are essential in fixed prosthodontics for their strength and esthetics, but are prone to fractures due to material disparities and stress factors. This study evaluates the shear bond strength (SBS) of two porcelain repair systems for cohesive and adhesive fractures in conventional PFM and direct metal laser-sintered (DMLS) restorations, addressing clinical repair needs.
Materials And Methods: Thirty metal-ceramic discs were fabricated and divided into two main groups based on the fabrication method: Conventional casting and DMLS.

Objectives: This case report describes the clinical protocols for the removal of crowns, tooth extraction, immediate implant placement, and cementation of new crowns, all performed under total or partial isolation with a dental dam.
Clinical Considerations: The patient's chief complaint was dissatisfaction with her smile. Radiographic and clinical evaluations led to the recommendation to replace the porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns on the maxillary central and lateral incisors with all-ceramic crowns.

Introduction: The marginal fit of dental restorations is essential for longevity and effectiveness of fixed prostheses, particularly single-unit crowns. Direct digital scanning offers significant advantages over indirect methods, providing a non-invasive, accurate, and reproducible means to evaluate marginal fit. This study aimed to assess the marginal fit of single-unit copings fabricated using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) zirconia, direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) utilizing direct three-dimensional (3D) scanning.

The esthetics of immediate implant dentistry can be challenging. Clinical considerations for immediate implant placement have demonstrated long-term success rates comparable to traditional delayed implant protocols. However, it is a sensitive technique that requires proper treatment planning as well as meticulous execution to be predictable and successful in the long term.

Objectives: There is a paucity of data on the outcome of fixed tooth- and implant-supported porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) and ceramic-based (CB) restorations fabricated during undergraduate dental education. Therefore, this retrospective study examined the outcome of fixed restorations placed in patients participating in an undergraduate program.
Methods: Patient records were searched for data on fixed PFM and CB restorations.
