Abstract


In order to restore the strength, shape, size, and appearance of a broken, fractured, or rotting tooth, a dental crown is a specially manufactured cap. Crowns cover the visible part of the tooth above the gum line and are permanently bonded with dental cement for both functional and aesthetic restoration purposes.

 

Key Purposes and Indications

Restoration: Rebuild teeth that are severely damaged, worn down, or extremely decaying.

Protection: Prevents teeth that are weak or damaged from breaking entirely.

Post-Treatment Support: Strengthens and secures teeth after root canal therapy.

Prosthetic Anchor: Covers dental implants or fasten dental bridges that are fixed.

 

Materials Used

  • Porcelain or Ceramic: Perfect for front teeth, they are quite attractive and match the color of real teeth.
  • Zirconia: For both front and back teeth, this white material is incredibly robust and long-lasting.
  • Gold and Metal Alloys: Extremely resilient, long-lasting, and requires very little natural tooth structure removal.
  • Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM): combines the beauty of porcelain with the strength of metal.

 

General Clinical Procedure

  • First Visit: After numbing the area, the dentist files down or shapes the natural tooth to make room, takes a digital scan or imprint, and applies a temporary acrylic cover.
  • Fabrication: To create the permanent crown, the imprint is submitted to a dental lab (or milled using CAD/CAM).
Second Visit: After removing the temporary crown, the permanent bespoke crown is cemented into place after being examined for correct fit and biting alignment.
