Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / March 2007Crown suggestion
My dentist said I needed a crown on lower first molar. Can any dentist here suggest what type of crown is more suitable for molar tooth? Thanks > My dentist said I needed a crown on lower first molar.

Just want to get more opinions and see whether there is another thing that is better. I say Machine milled porcelain is best. Others say a gold covered crown is best. I am sure you will fins some dentist who likes acrylic crowns.

I wouldn't assume it would wear the opposing tooth. An onlay (such as CEREC, recommended by amatus) could be a good restoration, and may well spare significant tooth structure compared with a crown. An onlay is a restoration that covers the cusps of the tooth, but may not extend all the way to the gumline, as a crown does.

How does Empress compare to CEREC? CEREC blocks made by Ivoclar (ProCad) are actually what we refer to as Empress-on-a-stick. (same material). CEREC blocks made by 3M are Z-100 composite resin (used very little and being phased out). CEREC blocks made by Vita are porcelain engineered to almost the same specifications as the ProCad blocks are (slight differences).

How does Empress compare to CEREC? Hi Desicion of type of crowns The factors : - gum/soft tissue situation and type of preparation - occlusion sufrace of opposite teeth - esthetic and economy situation - shape of tooth These are most important. There is a lot of ceramic materials with different proprieties. It is very hard to say witch could be better without personnal interview/examination After this Its easier to take desicion for type of preparation and crown construction Even having ready crown. there is couple methods of fixation depends on materials , cost and type of crown regards kris-Polanowski DDS > My dentist said I needed a crown on lower first molar.
