rediscover the dental crown

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

What is a crown?

A dental crown is a support for teeth that are weakened. It is thus a dental restoration that completes the tooth in the event of cavities, cracks in the tooth or fillings. The change of a crown is carried out approximately every ten years. In some cases, the crown will completely replace the tooth and its root, up to the gum thanks to the intermediary of a pivot.

Since when has the dental crown been used?

Ceramics marked the beginning of the dental crown in the 1950s. Indeed, the biocompatibility properties of certain materials allowed the development of the latter. Technical advances during the following decades accelerated the democratization of crowns; metal crowns as well as metal-ceramic crowns were created. 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. Not very aesthetic, 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 solidity. It nevertheless 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.
