Prosthetic rehabilitation of the maxillary front teeth is an extremely laborious problem for the dental team, consisting of the dentist and the dental technician. If for the physiognomic component the most recommended materials are the ceramic masses, for the resistance substrate there are several variants. Conventional technologies using dental alloys and modern ones involving the use of zirconium dioxide can be used successfully in performing fixed prosthetic restorations in the maxillary frontal area, both options having both advantages and disadvantages, as we will describe in this material.

Communication between the clinical department (dental office) and the technical department (dental laboratory) is one of the topics that often comes to the mind of every dental technician or dentist. This communication can be done by different methods as a type of inter-compartment communication, but diagnostic wax-up, along with Digital Smile Design and mock-up, is not only one of the most effective, but also one of the clearest and precise ways of transmitting information from the dental technician to the dentist, and implicitly to the patient, but also vice versa.
