Like I said, my SO is a DSS and we get have copious literature on the topic lying around the house. All of the things you've outlined don't exist or are not widely 1) accepted and/or 2) not approved for use. And even if you can print an entire tooth including root structure placing these printed teeth is a challenge. I've seen crazy root structures my SO has shown me. Often times teeth need to be sectioned for removal of them which basically makes replacement impossible. With regard to steel with a composite on-lay, this is exactly what I'm talking about. While steel may last the composite on-lay will not. You're ignoring the difference in forces different teeth are subject to. Front teeth are cutting teeth and need longitudal strength. Ceramic is no comparison to the versatile strength of your original tooth which is why you'll often see total failure of an implant far more often than a shattered real tooth. While I realize you may have read a few things on the topic your comments showcase a lack of domain expertise, so kindly heed your own advice before positing inaccuracies.
