A crown, sometimes referred to as a &#8220;cap,&#8221; is a solid prosthetic structure that covers the entire damaged tooth above the gum line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of a dental crown may be necessary in a variety of situations, such as to protect a weakened tooth from decay, restore an already decayed or badly damaged tooth, fix a bridge, cover a dental implant, or improve the appearance of a dysfunctional or aesthetically unacceptable tooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental crowns according to materials<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crowns can be made from a variety of materials including metal, porcelain, ceramic, or a combination of these. The choice of material depends on the patient&#8217;s specific needs and requirements such as aesthetic appearance, strength, durability and cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metal-ceramic dental crown<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A metal-ceramic crown is a type of dental crown that combines the <\/span><b>advantages of metal and ceramic into a single prosthetic structure<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It consists of a metal base that provides strength and durability and a ceramic surface that mimics the <\/span><b>look and shine of natural teeth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of crown is popular because of its durability and aesthetics. The metal base ensures a <\/span><b>high level of resistance to pressure and wear<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while the ceramic surface allows the colour and appearance of the crown to be customised to match the surrounding teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ylux.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zirconium-crown-zirconium-hybrid-abutment-monolithic-screw-retained-zirconium-crown-implant-screw-manual-key-screwing-crown-1-1.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-987487063 alignnone size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ylux.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zirconium-crown-zirconium-hybrid-abutment-monolithic-screw-retained-zirconium-crown-implant-screw-manual-key-screwing-crown-1-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/ylux.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zirconium-crown-zirconium-hybrid-abutment-monolithic-screw-retained-zirconium-crown-implant-screw-manual-key-screwing-crown-1-1-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/ylux.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zirconium-crown-zirconium-hybrid-abutment-monolithic-screw-retained-zirconium-crown-implant-screw-manual-key-screwing-crown-1-1-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/ylux.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zirconium-crown-zirconium-hybrid-abutment-monolithic-screw-retained-zirconium-crown-implant-screw-manual-key-screwing-crown-1-1-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1920px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All-ceramic dental crown<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An all-ceramic crown is a type of dental crown that is <\/span><b>made entirely of ceramic material or porcelain<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This type of crown is known for its excellent aesthetic value because ceramics can effectively mimic the natural appearance of teeth, including color, shine, and luminosity.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike metal-ceramic crowns, where the metal part is sometimes visible at the gum line, all-ceramic crowns provide a smooth, <\/span><b>natural look with no visible metal parts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They are also a good solution for people with metal allergies.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All-ceramic crowns may be less durable than metal-ceramic crowns, but modern manufacturing techniques and materials have greatly improved their strength and durability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zircon crown<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>A zirconia crown<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a type of dental crown made of zirconia, a material that combines the aesthetic appearance of ceramic with high strength and durability. This material is biocompatible, which means it is safe for use in the body and has a low risk of allergic reactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zirconia crowns are especially prized for their ability to mimic <\/span><b>the natural look and feel of teeth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> while providing significant strength and durability. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are the ideal choice for patients looking for an aesthetically pleasing solution that is both durable and long-lasting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is it possible to use a crown on a dead tooth?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Yes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, dental crowns are in fact often used on &#8220;dead&#8221; teeth. A dead tooth is a tooth whose nerve has been removed or has died as a result of trauma or deep decay. These teeth are often fragile as they lose blood supply and nutrients and can be more prone to cracking or decay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dental crown can be used to provide protection and support to a dead tooth, <\/span><b>preventing further damage and restoring its function and aesthetic appearance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Before the crown is placed, the dead tooth is treated with endodontic treatment (root canal therapy) to remove any infections and ensure its stability.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How are dental crowns bonded? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The actual bonding of the dental crown is preceded by the <\/span><b>preparation of the tooth by grinding<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is followed by the creation of an impression, which is sent to the laboratory for the production of the crown. During its fabrication we will place a temporary crown to protect the prepared tooth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We check the finished crown and if it fits properly and matches the colour of the other teeth, <\/span><b>we glue it on using a special adhesive<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The only thing left to do is to check that the crown fits and does not prevent a proper bite, and that&#8217;s it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long will a dental crown last?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>The lifespan of a dental crown <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">depends on various factors such as the material of the crown, the location in the mouth where the crown is placed, the consistency of the patient&#8217;s oral hygiene, and the patient&#8217;s dietary habits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, dental crowns can last <\/span><b>approximately 5 to 15 years<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
