Digital technology has brought a new and exciting dimension to dental esthetics. Innovative ways to take impressions and create chair-side restorations are continuing to expand and new dental materials specifically made for CAD/CAM are allowing for extremely esthetic restorations. Lithium disilicate is one such material that is efficiently milled, has a favorable flexural strength, and provides highly esthetic chair-side restorations. The following is a case study that utilizes lithium disilicate for esthetic full coverage crowns on teeth #7, 8, 9, and 10.
