As a patient you want the best for your teeth since they are
a vital part of your overall well-being. You want them to look perfect so that
you won’t have to compromise on your smile. You feel confident when your smile
is perfect and dazzling. However, it may be confusing sometimes as to what
treatment you should go for.
Emax Crown is the most known brand of empress porcelain
application called full ceramic crown. These are special
type of crowns made from lithium disilicate material. It is a good treatment
option for many dental problems such as damaged, broken teeth or color change
. Lithium disilicate is known for its
superior strength and appealing aesthetics as a restorative crown material.
E-max crowns are slightly translucent and hence come closest to matching your
teeth colour. This property has made it a popular choice for crown restoration
especially in front teeth.
Dental crowns can be used in varied scenarios. For example,
if you have undergone a root canal treatment for a tooth infection, a crown is
required to protect the treated tooth from damage since the natural tooth
becomes brittle after such procedures, and also may discolour over time. Also,
often crowns will be placed for aesthetic purposes. Stains which cannot be
managed by bleaching methods such as those caused by fluorides, may require a
crown to cover them. They are also needed for bridges where support from
adjacent teeth is required to replace missing tooth.
Since metal-backed crowns and bridge prosthesis are made of
metal, they cause an artificial and unattractive appearance with a matte
appearance on the teeth and graying effect on the gums. All crown / bridge
applications require renewal after a certain time. Some patients may want to
renew it sooner because they are not satisfied with the result of the
metal-backed crown. E-max crowns are the
most successful and aesthetic alternative for these patients. In all ceramic
prostheses, the substrate material is white, and its light transmittance is
very similar to the natural tooth. Whether it is a single tooth or all teeth,
the result will be very similar to the aesthetic natural tooth.
Crown is preferred for teeth that have lost substance such
as laminate veneer. E-max crown, on the other hand, can be applied to all
patients especially to those with anterior teeth crown planned.
· Colored teeth
· Perplexed teeth
· Canal Treated Teeth
· Broken teeth are teeth that can be applied with
e-max crown.
Its biggest advantage is its natural tooth-like structure.
The light transmittance allows you to smile comfortably thanks to its
structural compatibility with your gums and your own teeth. There is no problem
of coloration and staining in E-max crowns, which retains its smooth surface
and color for many years.
They are strong, long lasting and unlikely to crack or
fracture as compared to many other types of crowns. They are considered to be
at less risk of chipping compared to zirconia crowns.
One of the biggest advantages of this treatment is that
patients who cannot receive crown due to metal allergy can easily choose this
option.
It is more costly than metal supported crowns. It is
preferred in short bridges since it cannot meet the durability required by long
bridges.

many years of experience in the treatment of e-max crowns.
The most important tip for using E-max crowns for many years
is having a good oral hygiene. It is enough to brush your e-max crown teeth 2
times a day with dental floss, as you would for your own teeth. Dental
examination and tooth cleaning, which you should have twice a year, not only
protects your oral health, but also ensures that your crowns are checked. This
insures your smile to stay the same as the first day for many years.
