The aim of the present study is to evaluate clinical behavior and patient satisfaction of Zirconia-reinforced lithium disilicate press ceramic crowns when used in a conservative marginal design(0.6mm chamfer finish line). Comparison with Ultratranslucent multilayered monolithic zirconiacrowns will also be carried out in terms of marginal integrity, fracture, color stability and gingival health for 12 month
* Select and examine patients based on inclusion/exclusion criteria, then obtain consent. * Diagnose chief complaint, assess teeth in the esthetic zone, and perform scaling/polishing. * Take primary impressions for study casts. * Instruct patients to brush three times daily for good oral hygiene. * Capture pre-op photos and radiographs. * Choose the appropriate shade. * Tooth Preparation: * Group 1: Ultra-translucent zirconia crown (CAD/CAM, 0.6mm chamfer). * Group 2: Zirconia-reinforced lithium disilicate crown (press, 0.6mm chamfer). * Perform tissue retraction and take impressions with IOS. * Create provisional crowns. * Fabricate crowns (AMBRIA or KATANA zirconia) per manufacturer guidelines. * Conduct try-in. * Cement using light-cured resin adhesive. * Assess restoration at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months for clinical behavior and patient satisfaction
