Metal Ceramic Fixed Partial Denture
Indications for use of metal ceramic fixed partial denture
1. In cases of parafunctional mandibular activity where an aesthetic restoration is essential.
2. Where lingual clearance of less than 0.8 mm is present after tooth prepration.
3. Teeth requiring fixed splinting or being used as dental bridge abutments.
Metal Ceramic Fixed Partial Denture has very high strength due to prevention of crack propagation from the internal surfaces of crowns and pontics by the metal reinforcement.
4. In all posterior teeth where full coverage is necessary for aesthetic reasons.
5. Where deep chamfer tooth preparations are desirable
6. Where gold occlusal surfaces are required.
