Introduction Full-ceramic restorations make up the bulk of dental care. And it is necessary to consider subjective and objective aspects during the examination for proper and esthetics treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the esthetics of the full-ceramic crowns of the anterior teeth based on Subjective and Objective criteria.

Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics method using statistical.

Results In examining subjective criteria, satisfaction with ceramic crown color (100%), ceramic crown length (96.9%) and natural look of ceramic crown (90.6%) were the highest. Satisfaction with other subjective criteria was more than 75%. In the study of objective criteria, the highest likelihood was related to the occlusal plan (87.5%), then Midline (78.1%) and color (78.1%) were the most.
