At some point in every adult's lifetime, the need will arise for a tooth crown. The history of this dental object can be dated as far back as 2500 years ago with the Etruscans, and then it disappeared. In the 1700's, it reappeared in the form of crude materials (animal and human teeth held in place with metal wire). In the 1800's, true innovations were made to the area of dental care with the introduction of porcelain and the use of gold to cover the root. As technology reached dentistry in the 1900's, tooth crowns became detachable and metal casting made it efficient and aesthetically appealing. Today, it can be created and placed in a matter minutes.
The dental crown owes its use and function to the cavity. Once a cavity caused decay - then the use of a tooth crown replaces the hole to provide the function and appeal of a tooth. It protect the weak or cracked remains from shattering, and also be used to cover a dental implant or to hold a bridge in place. Many individuals have a problem with grinding teeth. Dental crowns can be placed on the worn teeth.
A porcelain dental crown may provide the look of regular teeth, but certain care may be necessary when biting down on hard objects or food. It is recommended not to eat hard candies, as it could loosen the crown and sticky candy, such as taffy could pull it away. As for maintenance, the same principles that apply to regular teeth apply here. Maintain a routine of brushing and flossing to prevent any further damage and lessen the need for more tooth crowns in the future. Fluoride treatments will help hold the dental crown.
Safe and preventive maintenance will provide a sound setting for dental crowns and offer a smile that may have not been possible without this innovation.
