12th Annual Conference on Dental Practice and Oral Health is going to be scheduled on June 22-23, 2022 in BOSTON, USA. It will be encompassed with the theme “Upgrading innovative ideas in the field of Dental science and oral care”.
A dental crown, also sometimes referred to as a “cap,” is a type of dental restoration that fits over the remains of a tooth to restore the appearance of the natural tooth or to protect it from further damage
Uses of a Dental Crown
Dental crowns are primarily used to repair teeth that have been damaged in some way. Such teeth may have chipped or been broken or weakened by decay or a filling.
Some reasons to recommend a dental crown include:
- To improve the appearance of a tooth that has been broken or discolored
- to protect the remains of a broken tooth from further damage
- To support a bridge or denture in the mouth
Materials of Dental Crowns
There are various materials that can be used to construct a dental crown, including:
- Precious metal-bonded porcelain: the most common material used for crowns. The base is made of precious metal for increased strength and porcelain is layered over it for improve aesthetics.
- Porcelain: less strong than bonded porcelain but provides a very natural look for appearance purposes, such as capping front teeth.
- Ceramic: a versatile metal-free material that is both strong and can have a similar appearance to porcelain.
- Glass: can be applied anywhere in the mouth for a very natural look.
- Gold-alloy: a traditional material that is very strong but is silver or gold in color.
Appearance and Results
When constructed and placed with care, a dental crown should match the appearance of the other teeth very closely so that it will appear as natural as possible.
The shape of the crown will differ slightly from the shape of the tooth before the crown was placed, which can make it feel strange for the individual initially. After several days your mouth and tongue will become accustomed to the new shape of the tooth so that it will not be noticeable. In some cases, it may be necessary to adjust the shape of the crown slightly to increase the functionality of the tooth, particularly for the bite.
Appropriate Care for Dental Crowns
It is important to care for dental crowns appropriately to ensure that they last for as long as possible. Although it depends on the type and position of the dental crown, they can generally last for many years when well cared for.
Crowns should be cleaned just as any natural tooth should be cleaned. Although the materials used to construct crowns will not decay, the tooth at the edge of the tooth can. Individuals should be advised to brush their teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, and the gaps between the teeth carefully cleaned with interdental brushes or floss.
