RESUMO
The success of a dental prosthesis is judged according to function, comfort, phonetics, and esthetics. The purpose of a treatment is to come as close as possible to replicating the natural state. For anterior fixed partial dentures, the all-ceramic system IPS Empress 2 offers light transmission and reflection comparable to that of natural teeth, provided that the pink esthetics are optimized in the preprosthetic treatment phase. In this case report, a laboratory-made provisional was placed after extraction of an anterior tooth. Six months later, preprosthetic periodontal surgery was carried out to enhance gingival harmony. The design of the post and core, preparation, and cementation are important parameters for the success of all-ceramic restorations.

The success of a prosthesis is judged according to optimal function, good chewing comfort, adequate phonetics and white and pink esthetics. The aim of a treatment is to approach the perfection of nature. For anterior bridgework, the all-ceramic System IPS Empress 2 offers light transmission and reflection comparable to that of natural teeth, provided that the pink esthetics are optimised in the preprosthetic phase. The provision of an anterior bridge in the IPS Empress 2-system is presented here in the form of a case report. After extraction of the anterior teeth, a ridge augmentation including preparation of the pontic bed was carried out. The type of post and core, preparation and cementation are important parameters for the success of all-ceramic restorations.
