RCT Cap advice
I've had a RCT for one my back tooth. A cap (ceramic+metal) was placed. However,it used come off. My new dentist suggests Zirconia (all ceramic) cap.
Which one is the best and why? (ceramic+metal) or Zirconia (all ceramic)? What is their life expectancy?
Please advise.
Regards

If metal ceramic cap can come out, zirconia cap can come out too.
Life expectancy of metal ceramic is equally good. Zirconia is better in strength not fit.
We need to know, why the previous cap came out in the first place.
Hope this helps.
