Resin Crown Asia

In dentistry, crown and bridge refer to the restoration of natural teeth that have been damaged, decayed, lost, undergone root canal treatment, or when a permanent teeth color change is desired by the patient, or when tooth restoration is not possible with materials generally used in inlays / onlays (partial tooth restoration), or for veneer. This is because prior to making a crown, some part of the tooth has to be drilled / grinded to the right shape / contour to ensure a proper fit for the crown. If the patient has undergone a root canal treatment, then the dentist must check to see if there is adequate tooth structure left to avoid further loss of that tooth structure. Post and core may be necessary prior to making the crown to ensure added strength and proper fit for the crown if the patient's remaining tooth structureis not quite adequate. Types of materials used to make crowns, depending on the objectives: all-ceramic (porcelain) with no metal, suitable for patients who prefer the attractive natural look as opposedto other types of crown material which cannot match the surface texture and light reflection of ceramic. Full metal Full metal crowns are commonly used in rear teeth as they are durable and suitable for biting food with a better fit than all-ceramic. They wear out naturally, but are not attractive and Porcelain fused to metal.
