Hi Silky,

Sometimes composite material can be added to the porcelain on a crown but it usually doesn't stay on too long especially if it is placed on the cusp. Has your dentist tried reducing the cusp (with a drill) on the porcelain?

I seem to be hearing that nothing sticks to porcelain, but I saw on the internet that maybe it can be etched and material added to it?
