Clinical & laboratory considerations
- Allow space for the metal, opaque and porcelain layers — metal ceramic usually needs more reduction than full-contour zirconia.
- State the margin design you want (for example a porcelain butt margin or a metal collar).
- Specify the shade and any characterisation; include photos with a shade tab where possible.
Limitations to discuss with your patient
- A grey line can become visible at the margin if the gingiva recedes.
- The porcelain layer can chip under heavy occlusal loads or bruxism.
