Etchable ceramics?
- Conventional veneering ceramics / feldspathic porcelains
- Particle reinforced glasses (lithium disilicate, leucite reinforced)
Non-etchable ceramics?
Polycrystalline (zirconia)
Leucite-reinforced glasses considerations
Maximizes aesthetics
Weakest of the three materials
Etchable material for predictable bonding
Must be bonded to tooth structure
Lithium disilicate
Excellent aesthetics
Weaker than polycrystalline ceramics
Etchable material for predictable bonding
Must be bonded to tooth structure
Polycrystalline ceramics
Good aesthetics
Strongest of the three materials
Can’t be etched, bonding questionable long-term
Should be bonded to tooth structure
