Abstract
Repair of restorations that failed for technical reasons or due to fatigue could certainly prolong the survival of functioning restorations. A technique for repairing fractured porcelain fused to metal restorations is presented. This technique uses a new overcasting (metal-ceramic or all-ceramic) crown that is cemented on the prepared fractured retainer of the prosthesis. The clinical and laboratory procedures are simple. The primary advantage of this technique is that it may be more predictable than the direct-repair method using composites, especially for situations in which a large portion of porcelain is missing. Also, this technique produces an aesthetic result that is more satisfying and stable than that of composite resins.
