Objective:

To demonstrate the efficient restoration of a fractured molar using a biocompatible CAD/CAM crown.

Approach:

• Patient Presentation: A 62-year-old woman with a mesiolingual cusp fracture and existing MO amalgam restoration was treated.
• Material and Procedure: Ceramir® CAD/CAM C-block was used for a full-coverage crown, with tooth preparation, amalgam removal, and build-up.
• Crown Fabrication: Crown was milled in under 15 minutes and polished in under 3 minutes, with the entire procedure completed in less than an hour.
• Post-Procedure Assessment: Post-seat x-ray confirmed impeccable marginal fit, and the patient reported immediate comfort and a natural bite feel.

Key Findings:

• Efficient chairside workflow with a total procedure time of less than one hour.
• Crown milled in under 15 minutes and polished in under 3 minutes.
• Impeccable marginal fit confirmed by radiographs.
• Four shade options allowed for seamless matching to the patient's anterior dentition.
• Material properties, including zinc oxide and fluoride, inhibit biofilm and bacterial growth.
• Biocompatible and non-toxic material composition.

Interpretation:

Conclusion:
