A Metal Dental Crown is a form of dental restoration that completely wraps the affected tooth, regaining its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They are mostly made of metal alloys, including gold alloys, base metal alloys (such as nickel or chromium), or a combination of the two. Metal crowns are renowned in the field of dentistry for their high levels of strength and durability, making them suitable for the posterior (back) teeth, where most forces are applied during chewing, and visibility is not a significant concern.
Key Features and Advantages
- Superior Strength : They are the strongest and most fracture-resistant form of a crown, which can resist high biting forces without chipping or fracturing.
- Minimal Tooth Reduction : Metal crowns have the lowest profile, requiring the least natural tooth structure to prepare the tooth for a crown, compared to porcelain or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.
- Sturdiness and Life Liness : They do not easily chip and endure well. Metal crowns will tend to last the longest when well taken care of.
- Exceptional Fit : The alloys allow for a very accurate margin, which facilitates the capping of the crown and helps prevent decay in the underlying tooth.
