The patients with healthy periodontal condition and without discomfort within one week were prepared,then they were treated with tooth preparation combined with all-ceramic crown restoration according to the principle of full crown preparation( including trying to save the health of dentin,sticking post and nucleation). Thirty patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months,the effects were evaluated by radiology and clinical examination.
