Dental Crowns
When a tooth is badly damaged by decay or by injury, a crown or a 'cap' as it is known to the common man is used to restore the tooth, thus giving back the tooth its normal architecture. These crowns are usually given after root canal treatment; however, in the occasional case when the tooth is not so badly damaged, a crown may be given straightaway without root canal treatment.
Dental crowns may be of three types:
- All metal or Ni-Cr crowns
- Metal ceramic crowns
- All ceramic crowns or metal free ceramic crowns
