Abstract
This case report describes the fabrication of monolithic all‐ceramic restorations using zirconia‐reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) ceramics. The use of powder‐free intraoral scanner, generative fabrication technology of the working model, and CAD/CAM of the restorations in the dental laboratory allows a completely digitized workflow. The newly introduced ZLS ceramics offer a unique combination of fracture strength (>420 MPa), excellent optical properties, and optimum polishing characteristics, thus making them an interesting material option for monolithic restorations in the digital workflow.Keywords
