- All-porcelain crowns are completely made of porcelain, offering a natural appearance.
- PFM crowns, or porcelain fused to metal crowns, combine strength with aesthetic appeal.
- Full metal crowns consist entirely of metal, providing durability.
Dental Cements and Materials
- Zinc phosphate cement is mixed on a glass slab and serves as a permanent cement.
- Polycarboxylate cement is mixed on a paper pad and is also used for permanent applications.
- Zinc oxide-eugenol cement utilizes both a paper mixing pad and a glass slab, suitable for temporary and permanent cementation.
- Glass ionomer cement is applied using a paper mixing pad and a glass slab, serving as permanent cement.
- Composite resin is mixed on a paper pad for use as permanent cement.
Dental Terminology
- A pontic is the floating crown component of a dental bridge.
- An abutment is the anchoring tooth for a bridge.
- Various endodontic tests include cold, bite stick, pulp, and percussion to diagnose tooth health.
