Abstract
This article describes a case of discolored central incisors treated by using Zirconia based crowns. A 25 year old female patient presented to the department of Fixed Prosthodontics. She requested the improvement of her impaired esthetic smile caused by affected teeth. Her dental history revealed an orthodontic treatment of 7 years back conducting to the necrosis of the central incisors. The treatment plan included an endodontic treatment followed by prosthetic therapy consisting of a Zirconia based crown restoring the endodontically treated incisors. Internal bleaching technique was rejected because it is time consuming.
Keywords: Aesthetics, central incisors, all ceramic systems, zirconia based crowns, devitalized teeth.
