What is a temporary crown? Why do a temporary crown?

When using porcelain teeth or all-ceramic crowns, it is necessary to grind the teeth 360 degrees out of the thickness of the crown. Therefore, before wearing a formal crown, there is a transition period when the patient needs to wear a temporary crown because the Three roles are very important.

Protective Crown - Dental supplies

Whether you have a tooth with or without nerves, a temporary crown is needed to protect the tooth after preparation. For teeth with dental nerves, since the enamel has been ground, the dentin is exposed in the oral cavity. If a temporary crown is not used, the external cold, hot, sour, and sweet stimuli can easily be transmitted to the pulp cavity, resulting in tooth sensitivity and severe Bacteria can also enter the pulp cavity through small holes in the dentin, causing damage to the tooth nerve. For teeth without dental nerves, temporary crowns are also required to protect the fragile remaining teeth and avoid tooth splitting and breaking due to careless eating.

maintenance gap

The temporary crown also has a very important function, which is to maintain the gap between the various tooth surfaces of the tooth grinding. This gap is also the thickness of each surface of the future crown. Our teeth seem to be fixed all the time, but they are in motion every day. As part of the teeth are removed, the original balance is disturbed. It needs to establish a new balance point, and the gap between the teeth is gradually removed. It shrinks until it comes into full contact with the surrounding teeth and the opposing teeth, and a new balance is established.

Now the crown sleeves we make are all precision casting. If it is a little bit worse, it will not fit. The doctor needs to adjust the grinding. If the gap is narrowed, the finished crown sleeve will not fit, the edge is squeezed, and the bite is high. However, the adjustment of crown sleeves is limited. For example, if the porcelain crown is not suitable, the porcelain surface needs to be adjusted. If the porcelain is thin, it is easy to break the porcelain; if the metal crown is not suitable, the metal needs to be adjusted. It will leak, and it is impossible to grind more, so you have to grind the good teeth of the opposite jaw. If you grind the opposite teeth without restrictions in order to make the restoration fit properly, it will inevitably cause too much surface protection of the opposite teeth to be ground. , the teeth will become sensitive.

maintain good looks

Teeth are the face of the face. We can stay silent for an hour without opening our mouths, but it is impossible to stay silent for a day or a week, and it is not very convenient to cover up with a mask. After the teeth are ground down, the aesthetics of each tooth and the whole mouth will be greatly reduced

Many people choose crown restoration to a certain extent for the sake of aesthetics, and there is usually a window period of one to two weeks before the official completion of the treatment. This time is not short, so wearing temporary teeth will maintain the aesthetics. is also very necessary.
