Abstract :

In recent years, there have been promising results when zirconia frameworks were used as an alternative to metal based fixed partial dentures(FDPs). Yttrium-oxide partially stabilized zirconia(Y-TZP) exhibits exceptional fundamental properties of great interest to dental application, such as high strength, fracture toughness, opacity, and biocompatibility.This paper reports different clinical requirements of zirconia FDPs , illustrated by a clinical situation.
