[QUOTE="breaux, post: 352894, member: 26519"] I am a patient looking to have a front incisor replaced with an "all-porcelain" crown. I have spoken to several dentists and a lab and have been reading online and there seems to be a lot of use of the terms "all-porcelain" and "all-ceramic" and I am very confused what the terms mean. To me the term all-porcelain would mean a monolithic porcelain crown but from the dentists and lab I have called they dont seem to know what I am talking about. They talk about e-max, zirconia, and pfms. They also mention crowns with either an emax or zirconia coping and porcelain on top. The lab I spoke to said that the most aesthetic option would be an emax coping with porcelain on top. Is there such a thing as a monolithic porcelain crown? The image below seems to indicate there is. I am trying to find the most aesthetic option for my front incisor and would appreciate clarity on this subject. Thanks in advance.
