FULL CERAMIC CROWNS / EMPRESS - EMAX CROWNS
What Is Empress Crown?
It is a kind of porcelain whose resistance is increased without using a metal base but, by firing glass ceramic over a crystalline core which is compressed under pressure. The whole material is made of ceramic.
Why And How Does Empress Crown Look More Natural?
Its lacking metal base and being made up of full ceramic imitate natural teeth’s translucency, ability to reflect and transmit the light. Also, the harmony between empress and dental tissue, and the chameleon effect of the ingredients provide the ideal color and translucency. All characteristic features of your natural teeth can be transferred to empress crown. Empress crowns are mainly used in cosmetic dentistry.
On Which Teeth Can I Have Empress Crown Applied?
Empress crowns can be applied on incisors (front cutting teeth), premolars, and when replacing a missing tooth in this front area.
On Which Teeth It Cannot Be Applied?
Empress crown is not preferred on molars which are the back teeth and where mastication and lateral forces increase or in front or back area restorations where there are more than one missing teeth side by side. In such cases, zirconium crown, which is esthetic and which has higher resistance than empress, would be the first choice.
