Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / June 2005Nothing but problems with a temporary crown
hi.. First time reader, first time poster. 5 days ago, I had a lower rear molar prepped for a crown. The Temporary crown was cemented into place, and I went on my way. The temporary crown won't stay on. It's been re-cemented 3 times since then, each time with stronger cement. The gum is now raw, and I'm in constant pain. Needless to say, I'm quite concerned about the permanent crown, and if the cement is going to keep it on the tooth. Should I be worried? I know it's rare for a temp to keep falling off, but what about permanent crowns? >hi..

Don't worry about it. .. Stephen Troy, Michigan, USA I am writing on a Tablet-PC,so forgive me if the PC misreads my handwriting. >>hi..

An ill fitting or poorly retained temporary *could* be a sign that the dentist isn't doing a great job. The prep could also lack retention for the permanent crown. While a bad experience with the temporary does not always lead to problems with the final crown, it could raise a few flags. JMO, Fawks Certainly,,,,,,, but have you ever made a crown on a short wide tooth that would not hold a plastic temporary no matter what you did, but held the FGC forever? Anyway, I don't think I make 2-3 temporaries a year now. Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen [What's a Temporary?], D.D.S. Michigan, USA ....................................................

Well, I got my permanent crown on Tuesday (Tooth 47), and it seems to be holding. However there was a LOT of pain and discomfort then he placed the crown on the tooth. It came when he pressed DOWN on the tooth, partly from the tooth, but a lot of burning on the gums. He said that the gums around the tooth were extremely irritated. I noticed today that when I used the tooth to bite on something, there was a little pain, and some referred pain in the gums between 2 other teeth as well. The tooth pain seemed to come from the pressing down on the crown. It passed after a few minutes, I'm ASSUMING that this is happening because of where the tooth is, and because the gums are tender around the site How long should I expect this to linger before I go back to the Dentist and have him check things out? The problem with the Temporary crown was it was riding a little high on the back. I've had 2 other crowns from the same dentist, and this is the first time I've had this kind of trouble. Thanks! >How long should I expect this to linger before I go back to the Dentist and >have him check things out? 7 -10 days >The problem with the Temporary crown was it was riding a little high on the >back.
