The prosthetic treatment plan must allow ideal integration of esthetics, biologics, and functional requirements on natural teeth and on implants. Over the last 20 years, technology, new components, and new materials have revolutionized traditional approaches, steadily introducing new digital instruments year after year, such as CAD/CAM technology, guided implant surgery, and innovative digital tools for diagnosis, planning, and treatment. All these innovations have significantly influenced the clinical and technical workflow in both tooth-supported and implant-based rehabilitations.
Regarding tooth-supported prostheses, the key point is the minimally invasive prosthetic approach and its integration with a digital workflow. Minimally invasive prosthetic procedures can be performed not only in cases of full-mouth rehabilitation but also for simple crowns and bridges. In fact, today, with correct preparation techniques, it is possible to preserve sound tooth structure and, in many clinical situations, enamel as well. This approach, combined with adhesive bonding and the correct selection and use of restorative materials, allows excellent results in terms of integration and reliability of the final prosthetic outcome.
The evolution of restorative materials and approaches has made it possible to work with restorations of reduced thickness while maintaining sound tooth structure and preserving the integrity of the natural tooth. Nowadays, in cases of well-preserved teeth, with calibrated reduction and a specific clinical approach, it is possible to complete the preparation while maintaining more than 70% of enamel. The correct selection of restorative material is a crucial aspect, and monolithic zirconia represents one of the most interesting options, thanks to the possibility of using it at very reduced thicknesses, even in posterior segments. This aspect, combined with significant advancements in zirconia chemical adhesion, opens new perspectives in terms of restorative techniques and clinical options.
This lecture aims to describe a 10-year clinical experience with ultrathin bonded zirconia restorations placed in both anterior and posterior segments.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify the advantages of bonded zirconia compared to silica-based ceramics
- Recognize the clinical indications for bonded zirconia restorations
- Understand operative guidelines for predictable bonded zirconia outcomes
