Abstract
Edentulism and dental disease have a major effect on the standard of lifetime of patients. Fixed partial dentures have become the treatment of choice for many people for the replacement of edentulous space in the oral cavity. Therefore, it is of interest to correlate and compare the esthetics between monolithic zirconia and hand layered zirconia among fixed partial dentures in Saveetha Dental College. 100 patients who monolithic zirconia and hand layered zirconia had fixed partial dentures were included within the study. Pink and white esthetic scores were evaluated. Data collected were entered in SPSS and analyzed through Chi square test. It was observed that hand layered zirconia have better white esthetic score (p<0.000) and pink esthetic score (p<0.003) when compared to monolithic zirconia fixed partial dentures, which were statistically significant. It was concluded that hand layered zirconia fixed partial dentures have better esthetics than monolithic zirconia fixed partial dentures.
