As a result, depth and brightness occurs at the tooth. Metal-free full ceramic crowns has aesthetic results closest to the natural tooth. This is obtained due to the light transmission properties of them. Porcelain with metal substructure give an artificial and matt appearance ,even they are made very well because light cannot pass metal. Full ceramic crowns are preferred on the front teeth especially because of the better aesthetic results.
