Material | Advantages | Disadvantages |
Metal ceramics | Strength, high aesthetic qualities, affordable price. | Less aesthetic than metalless. Larger amount of enamel sewing is required. |
Metal-free ceramics | Virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth due to transparency, there is no metal in the composition, strength, durability, less likelihood of chipping. | Relatively high cost. |
Metal | Strength, low cost, durability. | Low aesthetic and operational qualities. |
Metal plastic | Low cost, acceptable aesthetic properties. | May cause allergies, short service life, unreliable. |
