Crown for an incisor

If the defect of an incisor is too large, it must be restored with a crown. A crown may also be indicated after trauma from a fall, provided the root is still completely intact and is not damaged by a fracture. The highly aesthetic ceramic crowns allow a crown to be made in the anterior region that looks very similar to your own teeth. In order to create an absolutely perfect result, the dental technician takes photos of the teeth to adapt the modelling and layering of the crown to his own teeth. The restoration with veneers of the other anterior teeth can also be discussed, if defects are present and the restoration is indicated.

What to do if the crown is loose?

In any case, if the crown of the tooth becomes loose, the dentist should be consulted to find out the cause. If a crown loosens and threatens to loosen, it is possible that only the cement has been washed out, so that it can be cleaned and reattached at a dentist and consequently reattached. A crown loosening can also be caused by a fracture of the stump or a break through the root.

In this case, the patient feels severe pain and the tooth is no longer worthy of preservation, so it must be removed by the dentist. If the tooth has been root canal treated and anchored with a post and the crown, it is difficult to reattach the post-crown. In this case, the loosening of the crown can be the reason that the stump is damaged by caries and the prepared fit, into which the post-crown structure originally fits perfectly, is soft and deformed due to the caries.

As a result, the abutment can no longer be fixed into the fit. The caries must then be removed and a new post-crown abutment may have to be fabricated. However, if the caries has already penetrated very deeply, the tooth must be extracted, as it is no longer worth preserving.
