Application of dental crowns

The need to cover a tooth with a crown occurs when it is destroyed by more than 70%. The procedure is also carried out against the background of tooth decay due to caries. When the pathological process destroys most of the tooth, the filling becomes unreliable. The fact is that a large filling is at risk of destruction: this leads to cracks at the root. Therefore, the only solution is to install an orthopedic crown on the tooth.

Another indication is bruxism. Constant grinding of teeth leads to rapid wear of the enamel. Dental crowns help prevent this risk.

Contraindications for installing dental crowns

Installation of a dental crown is not carried out against the background of strong mobility of the chewing element. Additional contraindications:

  • Root injury
  • Allergy to materials
  • Tissue inflammation

Before installing a crown, a specialist conducts a thorough examination of the oral cavity. This allows you to avoid dangerous complications.

Selection of material for prosthetics

Metal-ceramic crowns are often chosen for prosthetics. They are highly reliable and provide a good imitation of natural enamel. They are best suited for chewing teeth.

Zirconium crowns are distinguished by their durability and aesthetics, close to natural enamel. They are intended to restore both chewing and front teeth.

Glass-ceramic crowns are made from pressed ceramics, which have high strength and excellent biocompatible properties.

General information about the procedure

Procedure for installing a dental crown

The process of installing a dental crown begins with a consultation and diagnosis. Further steps:

  1. Oral cavity sanitation. Before proceeding with prosthetics, the doctor eliminates all existing infections (for example, treats caries and pulpitis) and carries out professional cleaning
  2. Preparation for prosthetics. The doctor grinds down the enamel and installs the necessary stump inlays or pins (in the case of a complete absence of a tooth, an implant). After this, he takes an impression to make the crown
  3. Fitting and fixation. The dentist tries on the prosthesis and, if necessary, adjusts and adapts it to the individual characteristics of the patient. He then attaches it with special dental cement

What does a crown look like after installation on a tooth? The prosthesis fits tightly to the gum and is no different from natural chewing elements.

Common problems after crown installation

The installation of dental crowns may be accompanied by certain problems that require the attention of a specialist and sometimes correction. Here are the main complications:

  • Unpleasant sensations in the mouth. You should consult a doctor if the discomfort persists for more than 2 weeks or the crown interferes with the normal closure of the teeth
  • Sensitivity to temperature. Increased sensitivity is caused by incomplete adherence of the prosthesis to the tooth (this is especially true if the dentin is left without proper protection). Therefore, the chewing element reacts to cold, hot, or even inhaled air. To get rid of discomfort, you need to use special pastes for sensitive teeth (check with your doctor)
  • Pain under the crown. This symptom is often provoked by inflammation of the gums or prepared tooth. If the pain gradually intensifies, you need to see a dentist and undergo treatment
  • Bruises on the gum under the crown. Metal-ceramic crowns cause a bluish tint to the gums. The solution to the problem is to replace the prosthesis with a model with a ceramic edge
  • Chipping of porcelain veneer. In some cases, restoration of the crown is possible, but sometimes its complete replacement is required

These and many other problems can be avoided if you properly care for your teeth after installing a crown.

Basics of caring for dental crowns

Caring for a tooth with a crown involves maintaining a clean and healthy mouth. Here are the main recommendations:

  • Use of irrigator and rinse aid. Use them after every meal and brushing your teeth. This helps eliminate food debris from hard-to-reach places
  • Periodic examinations by the dentist. It is recommended to visit a doctor every 6 months
  • Professional teeth cleaning with ultrasound. This procedure must be completed 1-2 times a year
  • Timely dental treatment. It is important not to neglect the condition of the teeth adjacent to the crown and promptly consult a doctor at the first signs of discomfort

Following these simple rules will help maintain dental health and extend the life of installed crowns.
