Tooth crowns are subject to decay. For a high-quality and long-term elimination of such a problem, ordinary filling is not enough - both domestic and foreign dentists talk about this. Since crown defects of the most diverse origin are included in the list of the most common problems of the dentition, it requires an appropriate solution. Dentists present it in the form of metal crowns for teeth, which Estet-portal will talk about in this article.
Teeth with a significant defect in the crown of temporary teeth, which are observed with circular caries, systemic hypoplasia or enamel aplasia, the presence of several carious cavities in one tooth crown and pathological abrasion must be covered with thin-walled stainless steel crowns.
Metal crowns do not require the preparation of temporary teeth, which allows you to save the relief of the chewing surface. This contributes to the full distribution of masticatory pressure, rapid addiction and the absence of changes in the periodontium. At the same time, the rudiment of the permanent tooth develops normally, and the roots of the temporary tooth dissolve without disturbance.
To replace significant defects in the crown part of temporary teeth of carious origin, standard metal crowns are proposed. They are able to provide protection against further destruction of thin and fragile hard tissues of the tooth, remaining after the treatment of complicated caries, until they are physiologically replaced by permanent ones.
The technique for placing standard metal crowns is simple to perform and requires significantly less time than restoration. Standard metal crowns do not affect the physiological change of temporary molars: the teeth fall out along with the crowns.
Indications for use:
- restoration of primary molars with significant restoration of several surfaces
- restoration of teeth in children with high activity of the carious process
- Restoration of teeth after pulpitis treatment, which usually makes the primary molars more brittle and prone to fracture
- restoration of teeth with developmental defects
- restoration of broken deciduous molars
- preserve the gap between the teeth
- for bruxism
- Restoration of permanent erupted molars with hypoplasia
Industrially manufactured metal crowns are widely known in the UK and Europe (3M Dental, Loughborough, UK). Clinical studies have proven the effectiveness and expediency of using such crowns.
Expert opinion of the portal
Metal crowns allow you to save the functional value of temporary teeth until their physiological change, which will positively affect the growth of jaw bones, the development and timely eruption of permanent teeth and their correct articulation ratio.
