STAINLESS STEEL CROWNS ON PERMANENT TEETH

Stainless steel crowns on permanent teeth

Crowns have been introduced in pediatric dentistry long back to manage severely damaged primary teeth and multisurface Carious lesion teeth rather then extracting them.

These full coverage restorations are recommended in primary teeth with developmental abnormalities, multisurface caries, high caries patients, broken teeth, following pulpectomy treatment.

Earlier stainless steel crowns where the most effective treatment option in pediatric dentistry, but they were often rejected by parents due to esthetic concern.

Later esthetic zirconia crowns became available fo kids. But these crowns had drawbacks like, need for additional tooth reduction thereby increasing chair time, inability to crimp or contour the crown according to patient’s tooth, higher cost, difficult to do in uncooperative kids.
