Notes and conclusion
In this demonstration case presented it
should be taken into consideration that
to be photographedmore effectively with
a demonstration case. Ultimately the in-
tention of this article is to demonstrate
how wonderfully detailed CAD/CAM
fabricatedCrCo restorations can look, i.e.
what is possible using Ceramill Sintron.
The author is absolutely aware that in a
clinical situation the occlusal surfacesmust
be polished to a high lustre. Sandblasted,
unpolished surfaces have micro-rough-
ness, which would result in increased
abrasion of the opposing teeth.

the author deliberately did not polish the
occlusal surfaces to a high lustre but only
sandblasted them using glass beads. Ac-
cording to the author this allows details
