The most commonly all ceramic crowns employed in prosthodontics are Emax and Zirconia crowns.

Emax consists of Lithium disilicate system.

What are the disadvantages of PFM crowns?

The aesthetic aspect is questionable because it consists of a metal framework masked by opaque porcelain, which hardly resembles the natural tooth shade. Unaesthetic grey lines might become visible under the gumline, thus deteriorating the aesthetic aspect.

Why Emax crowns?

Emax crowns are aesthetically superior and durable. These crowns can be used in the following:

In case of stained teeth. Emax crowns are translucent and possess fracture and chipping resistant properties.
Emax crowns consists of Lithium Disilicate and therefore highly durable.
Conservation of tooth structure is another advantage. These crowns possessing excellent strength, can be prepared in thin sections which ensure minimal tooth reduction. Therefore function, along with aesthetics, is taken care of.
Emax system can also be used for fabrication onlays, inlays, veneers as well as short span bridges in anterior teeth replacement.
Because these crowns do not incorporate metal, the unaesthetic grey lines will not be visible surrounding the gumlines and hence will blend with natural teeth.
