Dental caps or crowns are mounted on top of the teeth to provide a solution for badly damaged teeth. Crowns can return both the strength and the look of the natural teeth.
Permanent and Temporary crown.
Temporary crown is placed on the tooth, while the permanent crown is manufactured by the dental laboratory. Permanent crown requires at least two appointments to the dentist. On the first appointment the tooth is trimmed to make a room for the crown, after that, an impression is made, in the next step the dentist will determine the shade of the patient’s teeth and will send the impression and the shade color to the lab. On the second appointment, the dentist will replace the temporary crown with permanent. The dentist will inspect the bite and other criteria. After necessary adjustments are done, the crown is cemented.
Following the root canal treatment - root canal leaves the tooth hollow, as a result, to prevent the tooth from fracturing, it is restored with a crown.
Worn out tooth: Some of the reasons of worn teeth:
Gold alloy crowns are able to endure well the heavy job of chewing. They will not chip or break; they have the least effect on the opposing tooth.
These types of crowns provide the best natural color of all the crown materials.
For children stainless steel crown is the most common. They are used to fix over a primary tooth, they are durable, inexpensive, but aesthetically poor.
Crowns can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years and more. Good oral hygiene practices like brushing and flossing crowned teeth is essential to prevent them from needing to be replaced too frequently. Just like natural teeth, if crowns are used to clench your teeth, chew ice or use your teeth to open packaging, a crown can facture.
