Clinical experience of express repair of ceramics in the oral cavity

Ceramic cleavage on fixed orthopedic structures is a very common complication of occlusive trauma. Attempts intraoral repair of such defects have been undertaken since the 90s of the last century. The existing technique, including the treatment of the prosthesis with hydrofluoric acid and the subsequent application of silanes, quite successfully coped with the task at the boundary of the chip within the ceramics. When chipping to metal, this technique does not provide adhesion of the composite to the metal. The situation has changed dramatically with the appearance unsilane primers containing MDP monomer and providing reliable chemical adhesion of the metal to the composite. As follows from the presented clinical case, even after 1 year after the repair of the ceramic prosthesis, the anatomical, functional and aesthetic characteristics of the dentition are fully preserved.
