DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) Crown • Material: Metal crown made using laser sintering technology, later covered with ceramic for aesthetics. • Advantages: • Very strong and precise fit due to CAD/CAM technique. • Good for back teeth and long-span bridges where extra strength is needed. • Less expensive than full Zirconia crowns. • Disadvantages: • Metal base might cause a slight grayish shade near gums over time. • Not as translucent or natural-looking as Zirconia. 3. PFM (Porcelain Fused to Metal) Crown • Material: Metal base with porcelain layered on top. • Advantages: • Good strength and acceptable aesthetics. • Cost-effective option for both front and back teeth. • Disadvantages: • Possibility of metal showing at the gum line after few years. • Less natural look compared to Zirconia. • Porcelain chipping risk over time.
