rediscover the dental crown

Although the crown was a symbol of royalty for centuries, the dental crown has a completely different purpose. As a custom-made prosthesis, it fits perfectly to your teeth. It is an ally against many dental problems.

What is a crown?

A dental crown provides support for weakened teeth. It is a dental restoration that complements the tooth in the event of cavities, cracks in the tooth, or a filling. A crown should be replaced approximately every ten years. In some cases, the crown will completely replace the tooth and its root, extending down to the gum through a pivot.

Since when has the dental crown been used?

Ceramics marked the beginnings of dental crowns in the 1950s. Indeed, the biocompatibility properties of certain materials allowed their development. Technical advances during the following decades accelerated the democratization of crowns; metal crowns as well as metal-ceramic crowns were developed. Titanium was also a material, although particular, used in the development of certain crowns.

What types of dental crowns are there?

There are different types of crowns :

-The metal crown which is very solid. It is the one with the longest lifespan. Unattractive, it is often made of a nickel-based alloy or even titanium.

-The ceramic dental crown is very aesthetic. Being a little more fragile, it is also the most expensive.

-The metal-ceramic crown is located between these last two cousins. It combines aesthetics and strength. However, it remains expensive and in some cases, it can deteriorate over time.

The resin crown stands out for its very attractive price. However, it is fragile and care must be taken to avoid deterioration of its original color.
