Crown
Crown is an artificial replacement that restores missing tooth structure by surrounding most or all of the remaining structure with a material such as cast metal, resin, porcelain or a combination of materials. It is intended to reproduce both the form and the function of the tooth and to restore the appearance. (Dykema RW , Philips RW Johnstons Modern Practice in fixed prosthodontics 1986)
factors influencing the design of crown 1. crown length : Teeth must have adequate occlso cervical crown length to achieve sufficient retention 2. crown form : Tapered crown interferes with preparation 3.the size. number and location of carious lesions or restorations in a tooth affect whether full or partial coverage restorations arc indicated. 4. Periodontal Health Design must he taken into account. 5. Age of the patient : Cast metal or porcelain fused metal crowns usually contraindicated in adolescents.

Crown Selection
A correctly selected crown should cover all the tooth preparation and provide resistance to removal. festooned crowns - superior - most accurately reproduces the tooth morphology and requires least trimming and contouring. Primary molar with deep interproximal caries extending sub gingivally - use non-festooned crown to encompass the margins of the preparation.
a. Mesiodistal width of the tooth: Preoperative MD width is measured with the callipers and matched with the SSC. A crown that provides resistance to removal or that requires pressure to place initially -too small impossible to contour - a grossly over sized crown. Over contoured or oversized crowns on 2nd deciduous molar can prevent normal eruption of the 1st permanent molars.
d. Primate space: Preoperative assessment should be done, when 1st deciduous molar is crowned. Impingement of this space may prevent early mesial shift of the 1st permanent molar. e. Gingival marginal contour: differs from the 1st to 2nd molar as well from buccal to lingual to proximal aspect. Three forms of gingival margin contour -Smile', 'Stretched S' and 'frown
Preoperative Occlusal Evaluation A probe when placed on the operating tooth sh extend and touch the lingual cusps of the two adjacent teeth. This helps in later evaluation of the reduction and crown fit. Local Anesthesia Administration LA reduces the discomfort to the patient during tooth reduction and crown manipulation.
Rubber Dam Application prevents slipping of crown into the throat accidentally and isolation Placement of Wedges placed in the interproximal space which acts as tooth separators and also protects the underlying soft tissues.
Tooth Preparation According to Troutman (1976) occlusal reduction should be done first followed by proximal. But Kennedy suggests proximal reduction should be followed by occlusal reduction
Occlusal Reduction
Large round bur, tapered fissure or flame shaped diamond bur The occlusal reduction of 1.5-2.0 mm follows the anatomy of the occlusal surface. Initial placement of 1mm depth grooves in the occlusal surface followed by removal of remaining portion according to cuspal inclines Sharp line angles should be rounded.
Proximal Reduction
The tapered fissure bur moved in bucolingual direction starting at the occlusal surface 1-2 mm away from the adjacent tooth, until the contact area clears gingivally and buccolingually.
Buccal and Lingual Reduction Minimal but adequate reduction necessary. The buccal and lingual cervical bulges can be left uncut if they do not interfere in the placement of the crown

purpose of crown trimming - to leave the crown margins in the gingival sulcus contouring -to reproduce the tooth's morphology.
Seating of a crown on a mandibular molar done by first fitting the lingual side and then rotating it buccally. In the upper arch fit the buccal side first. The position of the gingival margin is marked subgingivally.
The excess material is cut with curved scissors The crown is then contoured and crimped using plier resulting in a smooth flowing outline on the margin of the crown.
The crown should snap into place when refitted. Care should be taken to see that there is no gingival blanching and no occlusal interference
Final finishing is done with stone and rubber wheel to remove scratches and obtain shine.
Cementation
Cements used are ZnOE, ZnP04, polycarboxylate, Glass ionomer. Debris removed The tooth is isolated with cotton. All exposed dentin protected with varnish. The crown is 1/2-2/3 filled with cement mixed to luting consistency. The crown is seated on the tooth along the pre-determined path of insertion. The cotton rolls are removed and patient requested to bite gently on the crown to ensure it's being forced to place.
the occlusion is rechecked and excess cement is removed using scaler. from the buccal and lingual aspects and floss can be used for proximal surface.
Postcementation Instruction The patient should be instructed to avoid heavy chewing with the crown for 24 hours. Instructions for maintaining oral hygiene and should be recalled once every 6 months
b. Drifting of tooth and space loss: The crown required to fit a tilted tooth B-L will be too wide MD and crown selected to fit M-D Will be too small B-L. In such a case larger crown is taken and M-D width is adjusted by using Howe plier. Alternate method when there is space loss is by using the crown of diagonally opposite arch.
c. Undersized crown
A vertical cut is made on the buccal surface of the crown. The margins are pulled apart and an additional piece of steel band material is spot welded to the buccal surface increasing the dimensions of the crown. After contouring, the crown is soldered, polished and cemented.
d. Over sized crown : The crown is cut vertically along the buccal wall. The free crown margin are approximated and overlapped over each other spot welded to reduce the crowns dimension. After contouring, the cut and relocated area is soldered and polished.
f. Open contact (except the primate space): It can be corrected by using larger crown, Localized addition of solder is also recommended.
g. Anterior teeth: Due to its strength and stability SSC -preferred in grossly destroyed anterior teeth. Poor esthetics of stainless steel crowns can be improved by removing a portion of the labial surface of the crown or replacing it with a layer of composite resin. These crowns are also used in the correction of anterior cross bite,
In bruxism: the thickness of the metal on the occlusal surface is increased by addition of a layer of solder from the impression surface of the crown. - Croll's technique.
seat the crown. b. Ingestion of crown- overcome by using a square piece of gauze as throat screen or by using rubber dam. Should this happen PA chest radiograph is mandatory and patient is referred to the physician. If not found in the radiograph it is assumed to pass uneventfully through the alimentary tract within 5-10 days If not found abdominal X-ray is necessary to locate the crown. c. Failure results from poor and inadequate preparation and improper gingival adaptation.
Not considered to be long term restoration for permanent teeth for they tend to cause periodontal problem. Cast crown are preferred for children over the age of 15 years. -Recurrent caries (seldom) occurs around open margins. Children with tooth grinding habit may exhibit wear through existing SSC. Lack of accessible tooth surface for future pulp testing. Crown fitting is time consuming and difficult.
Introduced by Helpin(1983).~SSC provides the strongest and mpst durable restoration for primary anterior teeth.
Advantage (1) Tooth structure accessible for pulp testing. (2) Esthetics improved. Disadvantage It takes long time to place a crown because of two step procedure. -Crown placement -Composite placement
Esthetically they are poor, improvement by cutting a window. on labial side, create mechanical undercuts laterally and incisally and placing composite resin -facing. The window extends just short of the incisal edgegingivally, to the. height of 'the gingival crest and MD to the line angles.
1. Incisors with large interproximal lesions. 2. Incisors that have received pulp therapy. 3. Incisors that have been fractured and have lost an appreciable amount of tooth structure. Incisors with multiple hypoplastic defects or developmental disturbances (e.g.ectodermal dysplasia. Discolored incisors that are esthetically unpleasing. Incisors with small interproximal lesions that also demonstrate large area of cervical decalcification~
There are several methods of providing coronal coverage to primary incisors. (1) Stainless steel crown (2) Veneered or open face stainless steel crown (3) Resin crown (Strip crown) (4) Polycarbonate crown (5) Preformed plastic crown (6) Stainless orthodontic bands (7) Artglass crowns

ARTGLASS CROWNS
Artglass (Kulzer) current material for restoring ant primary teeth It is a crosslinked three dimensional polymer (Yanover L 1995) Its filler material ( microglass & silica) providegreater durability & esthetics than composite strip crowns Available in 1 shade & 6 sizes for prim central, lateral,& canine teeth
Updyke studied 95 Artglass crowns that he placed in a2-year period. Of 95 crowns, 79-clinically ideal), 11-clinically acceptable), and 5 clinically unacceptable) ratings. The vast majority of the failures were due to bond failures.
Step 1. Isolation desirable, not essential, All caries removed advisable to restore all four incisors at the same time.
Step 2. the length of the crown is reduced incisorly. Mesial & distal slices are cut tapering to a knife edge at the gingival margins
If deep overbite - reduce the palatal bulk of the enamel. A calcium hydroxide lining material is applied to the pulpal wall of any exposed dentine (Fig. 11.3b). Step 3. shade of composite resin is now chosen, usually a very light shade Step 4. Celluloid strip-crown forms are selected of the right size and trimmed using fine curved scissors (Fig 11.3c,d). The crowns are thin and easily split if care is not taken at this stage.
Step 5. Vent holes at the incisal-edge corners of the crown form -allow air to escape when it is filled with composite resin. crown(s) trial-fitted for length and cervical fit (Fig. Step 6. The teeth are etched , washed and dried (Fig. bonding agent applied and cured
Step 7. The crown form is then filled with composite resin, ensuring that resin is squeezed into all its corners. The resin should be hollowed out in the centre to reduce the amount of excess (Fig. 11.3g). Step 8. The crown formes) with composite resin are firmly seated on to the prepared teeth (Fig. 11.3h). If more than one incisor is being restored the crowns should be seated together. Care should be taken to remove excess resin with a probe ()r small Hollenback carver Excess pressure can result in the crown form splitting so the amount of pressure required is that to seat the crown only
Step 9. composite resin cured for I min, cure thoroughly both labially and palatally. Step 10. An excavator or probe is inserted beneath the edge of the celluloid and the crown formes stripped off (Fig.). Reduction of the incisal length may be needed Final Step. The cured crown is smoothed and polished, The finished crown(s) restore the aesthetics
ADVANTAGE: Strip crown technique is quick & simple method for restoration of primary incisors encourages an interest in dental health for both parents and child. Very good esthetic.
Celluloid Crown
Drawbacks: Strip crown are difficult to place because of the complexities of tooth preparation, pulp protection, moisture control (especially that of marginal bleeding when caries is subgingival) the need for a perfect bonding technique. resin composite placement
serve as the best esthetic replacements of gross caries affecting primary anteriors. enamel of the incisor is cut away with a tapered fissure bur. preformed plastic crown is fitted cemented to place with a zinc phosphate cement.
used to restore badly decayed anterior teeth. Remove all caries from the teeth and apply a Ca(OH) sub base if necessary. Fit the commercially available stainless orthodontic bands to each tooth. Trim away the labial portion of the band so only a narrow portion (1 to 2 mm) of the band remains gingivally. Cement the band in place. Use the brush technique to apply restorative acrylic, result is esthetically pleasing for the patient and child and economically feasible
a new type of crown form for anterior primary teeth Its aim is to combine the ease of fit and strength of the preformed SSC with the aesthetics of the strip crown. These crowns, marketed as Kinder Crowns (Mayclin Studio Inc., Minneapolis, MN), may be used in place of the strip crown, but they are much more expensIve.
reduce incisor teeth for resin faced crowns to provide sufficient space for the steel crown, remove the caries, and leave sufficient tooth for retention of the crown. Mesial and distal slices - to clear the interproximal contacts. The gingival margin should have no ledge or Incisal reduction -to prevent unnecessary elongation of the tooth. Tooth reduction should not destroy undercuts for mechanical retention; Lingual reduction - necessary when the overbite is complete,
If incomplete overbite or open bite exists- no indications of closing, the lingual surface need not be reduced; tooth reduction on labial surface -to remove caries A pulp-protecting base placed Crown selection and contouring same as for posterior crowns. Finished crowns provide an aesthetic restoration with the strength of metal crown.
The Patient's Next Visit: Before cementing the laboratory made acrylic crown select the proper shade of cement by mixing cement powder with water and placing it in the crown For a child a minimal shoulderderless tooth preparation recommended to avoid damaging the pulp.
Procedure
A celluloid crown form of the same MD width - trimmed approx I to 2 mm longer than the normal clinical length of the crown. incisal edge of the tooth - reduced by approximately I mm. A shoulder is extended below the free gingival margin on the labial, mesial and distal surfaces, but only 0.5 mm on the lingual. The M and D surfaces should be nearly parallel prepared tooth lubricated with petroleum jellycrown form is filled with the appropriate shade of acrylic. The crown form is held for about 1 minute until the surface "frosts" and then it is seated firmly on the lubricated tooth
crown is held stationary for 2 to 3min with firm finger pressure and then carefully removed from the tooth. crown is placed in a glass of warm water for 10 to 1 5 minutes. When removed the acrylic will be hard, all margin should be trimmed back, After proper gingival margin have been established the celluloid crown form is removed using a scalpel blade and the margins are carefully buffed with the fine pumice The acrylic crown is cemented into place using the appropriate shade of ZnP04 cement
Factors to be considered
Correctly selected crown sh cover all tooth prep & provide resistance to removal Preop M-D width of tooth sh be measured & matched with an approp SSC Consider the presence or absence of primate spaces for 1st prim molarimpingement upon primate space by oversized crown may prevent mesial migration of mand 1st perm molar from cusp to cusp occ into angle cl I relationship.
Overcontoured and oversized crowns on II prim molar- prevent normal eruption of 1st perm molar
Celluloid Crown
Tooth Preparation
1. Clean tooth with prophylaxis paste. 2. Check the shade of the restoration required. 3. Reduce tooth surfaces and incisal length to allow crown form to fit over tooth. Consider preparing a circumferential retention groove in cervical third 4. Remove remaining caries 5. Maintain a dry field 6. Protect pulp with appropriate material.
Celluloid Crown
Crown Preparation
Select appropriate crown and trim margins with scissors. 2. Try the crown over the tooth to check contour and margins. make a small hole in the palatal side (excess material to flow out)
Celluloid Crown
Procedure
Etch the enamel with etching solution or gel (40%phosphoric acid -15 to 30 sec.) wash the tooth for 30 see with the water dry it with the air syringe check for chalky white enamel Apply adhesive Fill the crown form with restorative material, avoiding air bubbles. Place the filled crown in the prepared tooth. Quickly remove any excess material with a probe. (Interproximal areas)
Celluloid Crown
When the material has hardened cut through the crown form with a probe starting at the cervical margin and strip it off leaving a smooth surface. Check the cervical margins and the occlusion carefully and make any necessary adjustment before dismissing the patient.
New preveneered SSC for primary incisors and canine are now available (e.g. Kinder Krowns. Whiter Bite -crowns, Nu smile primary crown):Preparation identical to the preparation for open face crown. The advantages -short operating time and the durability of the steel crown is maintained. less sensitive to moisture Disadvantage - crimping is limited to the lingual surface

"Smile": The outline of the buccal gingiva of the second deciduous molar and the lingual gingiva of both the deciduous molars resemble a smile.
"Stretched S": Owing to the mesiobuccal cervical bulge, the gingival margin dips down in the buccal aspect of 1st deciduous molar as it continues from distal to mesial giving the configuration of a'S' that has been stretched on one side. "Frown": Due to short occlusocervical height at the mid point on the proximal aspect the gingiva dips down on either side of this midpoint giving a frown line.
