The Lava™ All‐Ceramic System (3M ESPE Dental Products, St. Paul, MN) is a high‐strength zirconia system, which can be utilized to create all‐ceramic crowns and fixed partial dentures (FPDs) for use in the anterior and posterior regions of the oral cavity. The following study offers an overview of previously conducted scientific studies and clinical procedures that feature the Lava™ All‐Ceramic System as well as a more general overview of zirconia ceramics. A clinical report demonstrates the use of the Lava™ All‐Ceramic System with the restoration of 2 single crowns.
