Strip crowns are celluloid crown forms that are the most effective for use in pediatric patients with extensive caries in anterior teeth.
These are commonly used crown forms filled with composite and bonded on the tooth.
A stainless-steel crown is the standard tooth restoration done by a Pediatric Dentist. If your child presents with a large cavity, or many teeth with cavities, it is much smarter to restore the cavities with stainless steel crowns, as opposed to white fillings.
Stainless steel crowns cover the teeth on all surfaces, and act like a suit of armor for the tooth.
Stainless steel material used primarily on molar teeth.
White zirconia dental crowns are an alternative to a stainless-steel crown for children. The white zirconia dental crown is a metal-free esthetic crown that is certified biocompatible, extremely esthetic and is one of the most durable material used in dentistry today.
These crowns are options for use in restoring primary teeth (mainly used for anterior teeth) which are chipped, damaged, or broken, are not developing properly, or with areas of decay too large to fill without the risk of breaking a tooth.
Extensively decayed primary teeth can often cause great concern for patients and parents, especially when anterior (front) teeth are affected, with the zirconia crowns, our pediatric dentist at Appolonia can focus on aesthetic restoration of the damaged teeth as the main course of treatment.
