Standard crowns for children

Temporary milk teeth perform an important function in their replacement for permanent ones. Unfortunately, there are often situations when they collapse ahead of time. If the degree of damage is insignificant, then using the modern materials for filling, the defect can be effectively eliminated. In case of significant damage, standard crowns come to the rescue. They can help with “hopeless” cloves, allowing you to restore the child’s smile and chewing even in very difficult situations.

Our Center for Practical Dentistry, which operates in Ivano-Frankivsk and Mizhhiria, offers a way to restore milk teeth by using a filling made from composite material, a procedure not possible using metal and non-metal crowns. The advantage of the method is to reduce the likelihood of repeated decay, as well as to preserve their aesthetics and functions. Aesthetic crowns are used to restore the visible frontal part in case of severe damage.

Indications for the establishment of crowns for children

Often, adults think that restoring milk teeth does not make sense, because they will soon fall out and give way to permanent ones. Parents believe that crowns for dental treatment are set exclusively for adults. But very often, only with the help of this method of restoration can a physiologically correct bite be formed in a child, and the correct growth of healthy permanent teeth can be ensured.

The need for restoration using standard crowns in pediatric dentistry has long been confirmed. They have been established since the 50s of the last century, but in our country this method began to develop not so long ago.

Our doctors in the cities of Ivano-Frankivsk and Mizhhiria recommend using this method in the following situations:

• Significant destruction from tooth decay of hard tooth tissues (more than 50%);
• High activity of the carious process;
• After endodontic treatment of the canals;
• Injury, mechanical damage and chips;
• Bruxism – excessive grinding, jaw compression;
• Individual malformations of hard tissues;
• Hypoplasia – damage to the enamel.

A standard crown placed on a milk tooth does not affect its physiological change permanently, it will fall out along with a temporary one.

Benefits of using crowns in pediatric dentistry

It is a reliable protector of damaged teeth. When installing them, no turning is required, so the enamel is not damaged. They are made on the basis of a cast, as in adults. There are special sets of standard crowns that are easily adjusted to the size and shape of a particular tooth. This decision allows you to make the restoration already at the first visit to the dentist, providing the child with a more comfortable treatment.

The use of this restoration method is characterized by the following advantages:

• Restoring damaged hard tissues, keeping them constant;
• Ensuring proper teething;
• Prevention of repeated destruction of primary teeth and abnormal development of permanent;
• Elimination of psychological discomfort in the absence of anterior teeth due to trauma;
• Help in the full chewing of food, prevents the occurrence of digestive problems.

Doctors at our Center for Practical Dentistry fix metal crowns for lateral (chewing) primary teeth, where aesthetics are less important. For the anteriors, we use aesthetic combos so that after restoration the child can feel confident and smile sincerely.
