Crowns In Pediatric Dentistry
Introduction
 Introduced by Dr. William Humphrey in 1950
 Stainless steel (preformed) crowns are prefabricated crown forms
which can be adapted to individual primary molars and cemented
in place to provide a definitive restoration.
 Superior to large multi-surface amalgam restorations with longer
clinical lifespan
Classification of preformed metal crowns
 Based on Morphology
a. Untrimmed/Uncontoured crowns (e.g. Rocky mountain)
b. Pre trimmed crowns (e.g. Unitek stainless steel crowns, 3M
and Denovo Crowns).
c. Precontoured crowns (e.g. Ni-Chro Ion crowns and Unitek
stainless steel crowns)
Based on composition
1.Stainless steel Crowns
(18-8) Austentic Steel (Rocky Mountain, Unitek)
17-19% chromium
9-13% nickel
0.08-0.12%carbon
4% minor elements
2. Nickel-base crowns:
72 % nickel
14% chromium
6-10% Fe
0.04% carbon
0.35% manganese
0.2% silicon
Availability of SS Crowns
Indications of SS Crown Restorations
1. Extensive decay in primary teeth
2. Following Pulp therapy
3. As a Preventive restoration
4. For teeth with developmental defects & anomalies
5. As an Abutment for a space maintainer or denture
6. Temporary restoration of Fractured incisors
7. In severe cases of Bruxism
8. Single Tooth Crossbite
9. Interim restoration until a more permanent
restoration can be done

Factors to be considered in preoperative
evaluation of patients for SS crown restorations

Dental caries that
extend beyond crown
4. Open contact
 Causes food packing, increased plaque retention and
subsequent gingivitis.
 Select a larger crown or an exaggerated interproximal
contour can be obtained with a 112( ball and socket) plier
to establish a closed contact.
 Interproximal contour can also be built by addition of
solder.

• Good anatomic form and esthetics in a wide range of sizes for incisors, canines and
premolars.
• Universal shade.
• Smooth surface finish.
• Polycarbonates are aromatic linear polyesters of carbonic acid
• Termed as thermoplastic resins, they are molded as solids by heat and pressure
into the desired form
• It is esthetic than SSC
• Extremely stable dimensionally and unaffected by acids, ether and alcohol
• Lack strength, DO NOT RESIS STRONG ABRASIVE FORCES- FRACTURE
• POOR ABRASION RESISTANCE
• Not indicated in bruxism and deep bite
Polycarbonate crown: Technique
 Crown is selected according to mesio-distal width and
cervico-incisal length of the tooth.
 0.5 mm reduction labiolingually and contacts are
removed by reduction mesio-distally.
 1-2 mm incisal reduction.
 Crown is selectively ground at gingival aspect.
 Crown is lined with acrylic or composite material.
 The margins are trimmed and finished and the crown is
cemented with luting agent.
Pedo Strip crowns
(acid-etch composite crowns)
These are the crown forms which are filled with composite and
bonded on the tooth surface and the crown form is removed.

Editor's Notes

  • #6 Semi permanent restorations are those which last for months or years preserving the function of primary teeth until their normal exfoliation (Braff 1982).
  • #53 Water is applied and the crown should be removed several times so that the Acrylic dissipates the heat while setting. Blanching should be checked to avoid over extention.
