A Comparison of Gingival and Periodontal Health in Anterior Teeth Restored With Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal and Zirconia Crowns

However, at the six-month interval, the zirconia group exhibited significantly lower scores for both plaque and gingival health, indicating superior outcomes in maintaining oral hygiene compared to the PFM group.

Abstract

Initially, no notable differences were observed in the scores immediately after cementation and at the three-month mark. However, at the six-month interval, the zirconia group exhibited significantly lower scores for both plaque and gingival health, indicating superior outcomes in maintaining oral hygiene compared to the PFM group.
