Ok here is a case that is a bit out of the ordinairy and it would be nice to get some opinions from other experianced tooth nerds.
This is a case i am currently wokring on with my brother. The case needed sub copings due to the diverging prep angles so we decided to make these in zirconia.

The necks were scalloped and stained to around B2 (the final case will be around B1) then glazed and polished with diamond paste.
Now what to do with the overlay. Due to the slightly increased thickness of the sub copings over gold we have less space so we are toying with the idea of trying this as EMAX pressed linked bridges/crowns.
The upper would be a 1 peice design with 1 pontic of the back of 14 and obviously a pontic on 22. On the lower two seperate linked bridges/crowns. The left one with a pontic off the back.
Now the main questions is would the upper fit in a 300g ring and what people think about the strength issues. I would plan to press this full contour with an incisal cut back on the anteriors.
The alternative is to use zirconia but due to the limited space i think i can get better esthetics with emax cut back technique.
Anyone have any thoughts?
