Hmm, cosmetic dentistry question coming up... can someone tell us the benefits of bonded ceramics vs. ordinary ceramic crowns? Also, and this is the MAIN question, exactly how difficult would the procedure to remove bonded ceramics be (believe it involves drilling them off)? The person looking for the answer needs to have many bonded ceramic crowns redone and is very worried about how difficult this procedure may turn out, and what sort of damage might be done in the process. If nobody knows, fair enough... Here's one definition of bonded ceramic crowns I found:
"The dentine-bonded ceramic crown is a full coverage restoration luted to the underlying tooth tissue via a dentine bond and resin composite luting system. The main advantage of using this technique is that removal of tooth tissue can be kept to a minimum."
From what I can gather, the main difference between all-porcelain crown systems is bonded vs. cemented. Cemented seems to be far more common and easy to replace. So what about bonded?
