A member asked:
Dental pros: which kind of crown would be better on root-canalled #6 tooth: lava zirconium or pfm w/ metal back? also, would you recommend a mandibular advancement device for sleep apnea & bruxism, or could it harm the crown or cause other problems?

Occlusion: As anOrthodontist I will leave the choice of restoration to my Restorative Dentist colleagues. As to mandibular advancement appliances for sleep apnea, they can negatively affect your occlusion. Do your homework before deciding on the practitioner that has the best answers for your problems.

Bruxzir crown.: Bruxzir zironia anterior f f crown is very strong and metal free and also cosmetic. If you have sleep apnoea, and bruxism, Sleep appliance would definitely help. Get the crown done first
