Özet

Direct pulp exposure necessitates immediate extraction or root canal treatment in pets. Monolithic zirconia is used as a crown material in dentistry. In the current study, a 4-year-old female Ankara cat had a monolithic zirconia crown restored following root canal therapy. The tooth underwent root canal therapy, and preparation was done for a fixed monolithic zirconia prosthetic full crown restoration. Monolithic zirconia crowns are new, significant restorative materials that have been used rarely and little studied in veterinary dentistry despite having important material properties. Consequently, this is the first reported case of monolithic zirconia crown restoration from Türkiye, and the use of this material is strongly suggested to clinicians.
