Porcelain, Zirconia, Fixed Partial Denture, Repair, Chipping CrownAbstract
Background: Porcelain or ceramic-based materials are popular in dentistry due to their aesthetic appeal and
biocompatibility. However, chipping or fractures in fixed partial dentures can disrupt aesthetics and functionality.
Intraoral repair offers a cost-effective and time-saving solution. Objective: This study aims to guide
practitioners in managing chipping crowns, saving time and costs while ensuring satisfactory outcomes for
patients. Method: The review included articles on intraoral repair of porcelain fixed partial dentures, published
in peer-reviewed journals, available in English, and including clinical trials, case reports, and reviews. Exclusions
were non-dental studies, non-English articles, and studies focusing on temporary restorations. Data on the
etiology of chipping, necessary tools, and management steps were collected. Result: Porcelain Fused to Metal
(PFM) denture repairs are difficult due to color matching and procedural complexity. Repairing Lithium Disilicate
dentures is moderately challenging, requiring meticulous surface preparation. The most complex repairs are for
Zirconia-based prostheses, needing specialized equipment and advanced techniques for a durable bond.
Conclusion: Intraoral repair techniques provide a quick, precise, and comfortable solution for patients.
Understanding the stages of intraoral repair allows clinicians to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic results.
Clinicians should evaluate their expertise and resources to select the appropriate technique, with composite
resin repairs being the easiest and Zirconia-based repairs the most challenging. This method helps deliver quick
and satisfying results, enhancing the longevity and aesthetics of fixed porcelain dentures.
