Study Notes
Indications for Dental Crowns
- Dental crowns are needed when old restorative material is removed and replaced with core material and a crown.
- Concerns arise when teeth start to break, potentially requiring crown lengthening surgery or resulting in non-restorable fractures.
- Patients often experience emergencies when a cusp of a tooth breaks, usually caused by underlying cracks and sticky foods, not hard items.
- Chewing ice can also lead to tooth damage by causing microscopic cracks due to temperature changes.
- Another indication for a crown is a tooth with a fractured cusp, where the decision is made between leaving it as is or providing cuspal protection to prevent further damage.
- Long-term studies show that the ten-year survival rate for teeth is higher with crowns than with leaving some sort of a buildup.
- Severely carious teeth with a large amount of decay will likely require a crown due to compromised remaining tooth structure.
- It is important to inform the patient early on about the need for a crown when extensive decay is present.
- Patients should be advised against chewing ice due to its potential to cause tooth damage.
- Dentists need to assess the situation, including occlusion, to determine if a crown is indicated.
- The decision to place a crown is influenced by factors such as the extent of decay, the remaining tooth structure, and the need for root canal treatment.
- The dentist's role is to inform the patient of the need for a crown and to make the appropriate recommendation.
