Zirconia Rehabilitation Focused on the Emergence Profile: A Case Report

ABSTRACT
The first choice for anterior rehabilitation has been metal-free materials due to their successful aesthetic results. However, the definitive clinical work accuracy may be affected by the lack of clinicians’ expertise and familiarization with the latest techniques, as well as recurrent laboratory procedures. This manuscript presents a clinical experience with zirconia ceramic for anterior crowns and zirconia CAD/CAM abutments, including both clinical and laboratory steps after the implant installation. The ‘emergence profile’ and the ‘double scanning’ techniques obtained by the waxing technique appear to be a very promising procedure for aesthetic improvement of the single-implant zirconia restoration in anterior teeth.
