Resumen
GRANDON, Fernando; GALDAMES, Blas; MARCUS, Natalia y MUSTER, Maria. Metal free ceramic finished and characterized by manual polishing. Rev. Clin. Periodoncia Implantol. Rehabil. Oral [online]. 2018, vol.11, n.1, pp.39-42. ISSN 0719-0107. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0719-01072018000100039.
Oral rehabilitation through metal free prosthetics has given functional and aesthetic solutions to various clinical conditions; nevertheless, single-tooth rehabilitation in the anterior region is still considered a major challenge. In these crowns as well as in metallo-ceramic structures, the finishing is obtained by the glazing technique. This technique could show some limitations to replicate the surface characteristics, especially in teeth with a rich micro-anatomy.
Case Report:
The aim is to present an anterior single-tooth rehabilitation with IPS E.max® crown, and its finishing by hand polishing technique, achieving clinical adjustments and customized surface anatomy, a smooth surface, excellent brightness and a very satisfactory aesthetic result.
Conclusions:
Manual finishing technique is well documented, easy to execute and with low cost. Eventually, it could decrease repeated laboratory shipments and so the associated effects of the over-cooking of ceramic; nevertheless it requires knowledge of the type of ceramic to polish and a systematic clinical protocol implementation.
