A porcelain crown is a permanent coating for the tooth. It varies according to the materials used for coating, the most widely used today are the “metal – porcelain” and “full ceramic” ones. The procedure is like the Zirconia crowns.
Metal-backed or full ceramic porcelain?
Metal-backed porcelain is the most popular; it is strong and aesthetic as the metal underneath is covered with porcelain from the top, but an opaque paint used to cover the metal makes this porcelain look more saturated, which adversely affects the natural light transmittance of the porcelain. Also, its cost is convenient and standardized to make. Its biggest disadvantage is that sometimes the metal underneath is visible and the gums also get a dark (black) color.
Full porcelain or ceramic coating also looks beautiful, but may not be as durable as metal-backed porcelain (especially in very long dentures). Still, many people think this is the best choice – especially for the front teeth. These have alternatives amongst themselves in terms of materials.
