A dental crown is a fully customized, permanent artificial tooth replacement. They look like a hollow, tooth-shaped "cap" or "cover," fixed over a skillfully prepared natural tooth structure.
When cemented on teeth, crowns completely protect the visible area of the tooth that lies at and over the gum line.
They are also used in dental implant cases to replace missing teeth that have been lost due to disease, cavities or trauma. A dental implant is an artificial metallic titanium-made root-like structure inserted into the jawbone for supporting and holding the crown in the function where there is no natural sound tooth support.
The crown's main purpose is to restore strength, functionality, shape, and size to a tooth by improving its presentation.
Dental problems where a crown may be needed, include as follows:
When a tooth has become irreversibly damaged or infected, a root canal treatment is performed to save the remaining tooth structure. Following the root canal is a crown or a cap that will restore strength to the weakened tooth.
If a tooth is damaged or discolored in an unesthetic way, its appearance can be restored with a porcelain or ceramic crown or veneer. If a patient has a large filling, a crown can cover it up for more support.
Cracked teeth or fractured teeth often need a crown as the structure of the tooth is fragile.
A fractured tooth is very painful due to increased sensitivity, so a crown offers relief, holding the tooth together while making it very much stronger and tough.
Think of a dental implant as a replacement for a tooth that is missing roots. In this instance, a crown may replace the missing tooth. Once the dental implant is placed into the jawbone, the crown covers the implant's top, allowing the patient to eat normally. The crown is section of a lasting restoration.
All-ceramic dental crowns provide a natural appearance and color match that is amazingly lifelike and unsurpassed by any other crown type. The sparkling lustrous, optical quality of a natural tooth is generated by how light passes through the tooth and is then reflected. Creating a ceramic crown is to imitate the light handling peculiarities, and therefore presentation, of a natural tooth. Generally speaking, the best way to mimic natural teeth is to use very translucent high-quality porcelain in a very thick layer.
When aesthetics are concerned, there are two ways to make this type a full-ceramic crown:
Dental laboratory-produced crowns use different porcelain types (each with different shades and translucencies) in multiple layers on different crown regions. This achieves the best color match and optical quality related to natural teeth.
'Monolithic' (meaning solid) CAD/CAM which is a computer-aided design and manufactured) machine-produced crowns. These are carved out of a single, uniform block of ceramic material. This results in a crown with one standard shade and is therefore not as translucent but is still color matched as closely as possible to the natural teeth.
All-ceramic crowns are the most natural-looking alternative for front teeth. They are also a very good choice for patients who have allergies to particular metals used in other types of crowns.
One of the disadvantages of ceramic crowns is that they wear down opposing teeth more than metal and resin crowns, but they are still less abrasive than porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.
Zirconia crowns are the hardest and toughest type of ceramic available. Zirconia is a type of crystal element that is extremely durable and virtually indestructible, which is why these crowns are so long-wearing and withstand biting and chewing forces exceptionally well. They are color-matched to the natural teeth. However, they are not as translucent and light-reflecting as other porcelain crowns due to the very opaque color of the ceramic. Because Zirconia is such a hard rock material, it is almost impossible to "etch" the crowns before cementation given a rough texture to enhance adhesion and bonding quality to the natural tooth, similar to roughing up surfaces with sandpaper which aids in paint stick better, so they are bonded differently to other ceramic crown types. They can also be abrasive, and there is a greater risk of them wearing down the opposing teeth.
Emax crowns are fabricated from a lithium disilicate salts glass-ceramic with exceptional strength, translucency and durability. They are very much biocompatible in the mouth and have excellent long-term wear-resistant characteristics similar to natural enamel, which is the outer layer of your teeth. They are strong into very thin layers and still easily withstand chewing forces. Emax ceramic crowns can be made either on a CAD/CAM machine or in a dental laboratory manually.
PFM crowns are made up of two chemical components. Their core is made of metal alloys (metal alloys to be specific, which you can read more as "all-metal crowns"). This is actually the the inside portion, also known as the 'substructure,' which rests around and is cemented to the organic tooth. Porcelain (a type of ceramic) is then layered over and bonded to the metal base to crown its tooth-like shape and color.
In a way, a PFM crown gives both worlds the best for strength and aesthetics, which means they are a reasonable choice for either front teeth or back teeth. Next is all-metal crowns; they are the second most long-wearing choice. The metal structure is very hard and durable and can be acidly etched, unlike Zirconia cores, for strong adhesion and bond to the natural tooth.
The porcelain that is layered over metal to make up the crown's visible portion makes a very attractive, lifelike result matched to the natural teeth color. PFM caps also provide excellent biocompatibility properties.
After in line to all-ceramic caps, PFM crowns many carefully resemble natural teeth. However, there is still a big difference in similarity because, compared to a full-ceramic crown, PFM crowns are almost non-transparent and translucent. The way all-ceramic looks so lifelike is by imitating how light passes through and is reflected off a natural tooth by using very translucent porcelain.
Since the metal core structure of a PFM crown is really black, it needs to be covered in really opaque porcelain to mask to ensure that none of the metal colors shows through. Therefore only a comparatively thin layer of translucent light illuminating porcelain can fit on the top, which reduces the ability to mimic the lustrous look of a natural tooth truly.
Some other shortcomings of PFM crowns are that the underlying metal can show through as a dark line over time, especially as the gums recede. The varieties of porcelain used are also quite abrasive than all ceramics and can wear down an opposing group of teeth. The major risk or shortcomings with PFM crowns is that the porcelain layer can fracture or chip off, leading to infection and failure if not treated appropriately by a dental surgeon.
For person permanent dentition, prefabricated stainless steel caps are generally used as a temporary evaluate, protecting the tooth or stuffing meanwhile the permanent crown has been manufactured.
However, stainless steel crowns are very often used for primary or milk teeth in children. The crown fits over a skillfully prepared primary tooth, covering it three-dimensionally and protecting it from decay.
When the primary tooth eventually exfoliates(when the permanent tooth is erupting), the crown naturally comes out with it. Stainless steel crowns are favorable in children's dentistry as they require minimal invasive short dental visits to fit and cement and a very more cost-effective option for a primary tooth that will eventually be lost anyway.
Most of the post-dental procedure care tips are fairly obvious, as avoid hard or chewy sticky foods—like ice or candy—that can be the potential to damage your tooth. If patients have the habit of clenching or grinding their teeth, our dentists will advise you to wear a nightguard to provide protection. Over time, continuous episodes of grinding and clinching will wear down a crown or teeth in general. Keep in mind that standard oral care, like regular brushing and flossing, will prevent decay and gum disease for the affected tooth.
The most important factor in crowns' long-lasting life is maintaining proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups with brushing twice a day, flossing and getting regular professional teeth cleanings and check-ups. Additionally, lifestyle changes also help to increase the life of your crowns. Avoiding very hard food, such as hard candy, ice, and nuts, can protect your crowns and make sure not to chips them. Dental crowns never last you a lifetime, but properly maintaining them and following your dentist's advice, one can make their crowns last a decade or two.
