Abstract: The most commonly used monolithic ceramics are lithium-disilicate and zirconium-dioxide ceramics. Lithium disilicate ceramics is the best choice for the reconstruction of front teeth because of the naturalness of the color and the translucency of the material. Zirconium-oxide ceramics have excellent mechanical properties and are most suitable for larger joint replacements in the area of strong dental forces. Case study of two patients. The first one has crowns made of monolithic lithium-disilicate ceramics in the frontal region, and the second patient has a crown made of monolithic translucent zirconium-dioxide ceramics. Monolithic fixed-prosthetic products successfully satisfy the patient's aesthetic and functional needs.
