1.3.1 By Material
Usually, average chair time required to produce metal ceramic crown is 2.5 days or two appointments. In the first appointment, the dentist shapes the existing tooth by giving local anaesthesia numbing the surrounding area of the tooth. All crowns need to have optimum thickness in order to have enough bulk and strength. For full metal crowns, optimal thickness is 1.5mm whereas porcelain crowns should have thickness of 2mm. For front teeth restoration, 96-73% of the original teeth above gum is trimmed whereas in case of back teeth, 67-75% is trimmed.
Post grinding, impressions are taken which is sent to the lab. In the lab, a total of 2.5-3 days is required to produce metal ceramic crown. Till then, dentist fits a temporary cap for a 4-5 days depending on the workload on lab or dentist. The next appointment will be planned accordingly. On the next visit, the temporary cap will be removed and the dentist will place permanent crown at place. On an average it takes a 7-10 days from grinding of original tooth to place permanent crown in place.
However, emergence of CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/ Computer Aided Milling) techniques has reduced the time to one day. Using this technique, the dentist scans the tooth using optical impression eliminating need for temporary crown and conventional impression technique. Optical impression uses a small camera attached to a head which scans your dental structure and creates a 3d image of it. Post scanning, milling is done using the machine in the office. This technique enables the patient to have permanent crown in single visit.

Natural look of ceramic crowns compared to metal crowns has been a major selection criteria for patients undergoing prosthetic treatment. All ceramic crowns have emerged as a standard replacement for porcelain-fused-to-metal type (PFM) of crowns. Previously, PFM crowns were industry standard when it came to tooth replacement but since last 4 decades, patient preference towards all ceramic crowns has increased pertaining to its higher aesthetic appeal.
Advancements in terms of new materials coming up in the market coupled with launch of new equipment’s such as 3D printers for dental application is expected to spur the demand for ceramic materials in coming years. Recently in January 2018, Porimy launched ceramic 3D printer in china. The equipment is one of a kind to get medical device registration certificate for 3D printing of ceramic dentures. Such launches are expected to increase the uptake of ceramic materials in dental applications in near future.
Bridge installation is majorly done on geriatric patients or in case of accidental trauma on two or more adjacent teeth.
