Which crown material gives the best esthetic result for an anterior tooth here?

  1. Lithium disilicate
  2. Zirconia
  3. Polymethyl methacrylate
  4. Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM)
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Lithium disilicate

  • A. Correct. Lithium disilicate (e.g., e.max) offers excellent translucency/esthetics for anterior crowns.
  • B. Monolithic zirconia is very strong but historically less translucent/esthetic than lithium disilicate (though newer translucent versions improve).
  • C. PMMA is a provisional material, not a definitive esthetic crown.
  • D. PFM can show a metal margin/opacity, generally less esthetic than all-ceramic for anteriors.
