What are the indications for a crown?
Top A.While a crown is often used for its functional properties, like veneers these too can be used to bring about excellent aesthetic modifications in a smile. The common indications for a crown are: • To restore badly decayed teeth, with large fillings or teeth which are root canal treated. • To protect fractured teeth where little tooth structure is left. • When the position, shape, size or color of the teeth have to be dramatically altered. • To improve the bite. • To strengthen worn down or mobile teeth. • As part of a bridge to support a tooth replacement. • To be placed over an implant.
