Confession time… I was obsessed with zirconia when I started practicing. 🦷

If a case could be done in zirconia, I’d choose zirconia. I genuinely believed it was better than PFM in almost every situation.

But the more I practiced, the more I realised…

There is no “best” crown material—only the right material for the right case.

Today, my decision depends on occlusion, available space, aesthetics, and long-term prognosis—not trends.

Experience doesn’t just improve our hands. It changes our judgment.

👇 Comment “PFM” and I’ll send you my checklist of patient conditions where I still prefer PFM over zirconia.

Got a visible space under the pontic. Don’t panic—you can fix it easily!!
If it’s a small discrepancy, one of my favourite tricks is to add flowable composite to the tissue-facing surface of the Pontic.

Here’s a simple alginate hack I use to get better-defined crown-prep margins.”

“After mixing the alginate, take a small amount and finger-adapt it around the prepared tooth, making sure the margins are completely covered.”

“Then immediately seat your tray and take the impression.”

“This can help capture the preparation margins more clearly—especially in challenging situations.”

“Do you think filling the lab prescription is enough? I used to think so too.”

One thing I’ve learned over the years is this:

Your technician can’t read your mind.

Especially for anterior cases, the final result depends as much on communication as it does on tooth preparation.

This is what I do for every important case:

✅ Fill the lab prescription properly.
✅ Draw diagrams if words aren’t enough.
✅ Highlight the points I don’t want the technician to miss.
✅ Send clinical photos—and mark them to show exactly what I need.
✅ Most importantly, speak directly to the technician.

The lab may think you’re that “nagging dentist”… but trust me, your patient’s result is far more important than what the lab thinks of you.

And one more thing—if, during the trial, you feel there’s still scope to make the restoration better, don’t settle. Take a new impression if needed. Send it back for corrections. That extra effort is almost always worth it.

Don’t just send the case. Communicate your vision.

👇 Comment “LAB” and I’ll send you my personal checklist of everything I communicate to the lab for predictable esthetic results.

“Be honest… which bds posting did you fear the most?”

“Prosthodontics. Me too.”

But then came PG.

The more I practised, the more I realised—
it’s not difficult…
it just has a learning curve.

Every failed impression, every challenging case, every small trick taught me something new.

So let’s make Prosthodontics a little less intimidating.

Welcome to the series:
Prostho, without panic!

I’ll be sharing practical tips, clinical tricks, and the little hacks that textbooks don’t teach.
