IPS E.Max-CAD Endocrown: Bonding steps

Abstract

Current ceramic materials offer preferred optical properties for highly aesthetic restorations. The inherent brittleness of some ceramic materials, specific treatment modalities, and certain clinical situations require resin bonding of the completed ceramic restoration to the supporting tooth structures for long-term clinical success. The purpose of the present paper is to present the clinical bonding steps of an IPS e max cad endocrown fabricated by CAD/CAM system to restore a damaged first mandibular molar endodontically treated.
