The teeth crowns: your new teeth
We are pleased to see you at Dental Care Clinic!
Historically, a variety of materials have been used as tooth replacements. The ancient Egyptians used animal teeth and pieces of bone as primitive replacement materials. More recently, artificial teeth have been fabricated from substances such as ivory, porcelain, and even platinum.
With modern technology, high quality tooth replacements can be made from synthetic plastic resins, ceramic composites, and lightweight metal alloys.
There are four main types of materials used in teeth crowns construction: the plasters used to create the mold, the materials from which the crown itself is made (e.g., metal, ceramic, plastic), the adhesives used to cement the crown in place, and the coatings used to cover the crown and make it more aesthetically appealing.
Plaster molds in crown's construction are made from a mixture of water and gypsum powder. Used for dental applications since the 1700s, gypsum is finely divided calcium sulfate dihydate.
Polymethyl methacrylate is most often used for dental applications. This type of resin is made by mixing together chemical entities known as monomers with activating chemicals which cause the monomers to react and link together to form long chains called polymers. Some of these resins harden at room temperature as this reaction progresses. Others require heat or ultraviolet light to catalyze the change.
Special dental adhesives, or dental cements, are used to hold the teeth crowns in place. Dental adhesives can be classified as either aqueous or nonaqueous. The aqueous type include zinc phosphates, polycarboxylate cements, glassionomer cements, and calcium phosphate cements. The nonaqueous type include zinc oxide-eugenol, calcium chelates, and acrylic resins such as polymethyl methyacrylate.
Coatings are used to make the teeth crowns appear more natural. Porcelain is used in this regard, but it is difficult to work with and hard to match to the tooth's natural color. Resins similar to the ones used in tooth construction are also used to create tooth-colored veneers on crowns. These resins have an advantage over other veneers in that they are inexpensive, easy to fabricate, and can be matched to the color of tooth structure. However, acrylic coatings may not adhere to the crown's surface as well as porcelain or other materials.
The prosethedontist may design the crown's surface with mechanical undercuts to give the coating a better grip. Resin coatings have relatively low mechanical strength and color stability and poor abrasion and stain resistance as compared to porcelain.
The process of installation of teeth crowns begin after the each crown has been successfully completed and created into prepared area. The prosethedontist applies cement to the inside of the crown surface and then fits it into place over the tooth. Because of the number of processing steps there may be a slight discrepancy in the fit and the crown may require minor grinding and smoothing of its surface to ensure it fits correctly.
The crown may require a finishing coat to seal it and improve its natural appearance. Such coatings are typically acrylic polymers. The polymer can be painted on as a thin film, which hardens to a durable finish. Some polymers require a dose of ultraviolet light to properly cure.
Good quality control is critical to ensure the teeth crowns fits and looks natural in the patient's mouth. Every crown is unique because every person's mouth is different and every crown is custom molded to fit.
Dental technology is constantly advancing and these improvements are already finding application in teeth crowns manufacturing. State of the art teeth crowns can be made with an industrially produced core made of densesintered ceramic, and an outer layer of porcelain is added by hand.
This futuristic crown material is made by an advanced Computer Aided Design (CAD) process, known as Procera process, which was introduced in the mid-1990s in Switzerland. This process results in teeth crowns with improved strength and optimal fit. Unlike other crown materials, teeth crowns made by the Procera process can be used anywhere in the mouth due to the strength of its core material and its more natural appearance.
Another advance in teeth crowns technology involves pre-made and pre-sized stainless steel crowns, which are designed as generic tooth replacements. Usage of this new type of crown is very simple: first the tooth surface is prepared then the selected crown is cemented in place with a standard stainless steel crown adhesive. The crown can be crimped or cut to fit and the epoxy finish will not chip or peel. While this new technology offers increased simplicity, it does not give the same appearance as a custom made crown.
Future advancements for teeth crowns are likely to come from new resins, which have improved adhesion in the high moisture environment of the oral cavity.
