Crowns and other extra-coronal restorations: Try-in and cementation of crowns

In Vitro Fit and Cementation Resistance of Provisional Crowns for Single Implant-Supported Restorations.

This study aimed to verify marginal fit and the effect of cement film thickness standardization on retention of provisional crowns made with prefabricated acrylic cylinders on abutments, using two temporary luting agents subjected or not to mechanical cycling. Provisional crowns were made from bis-acryl (Luxatemp Fluorescence) or methyl methacrylate (Duralay) resins on acrylic cylinders and mar...

Lava Crowns and Bridges

[Statistical survey of prosthetic restorations--outline and single crowns, cast cores and inlays].

Biomaterials for fabrication of dental crowns

Biocompatible materials used for the fabrication of dental crowns were studied. Patients were treated with Gold, Porcelain and Zirconia crowns. Dental crowns were selected according to patient’s clinical status and needs. We found that Gold crowns had low patient acceptance because of poor aesthetics and high cost. Gold crowns could not be used opposite to amalgam restorations for the fear of g...

Effects of Finger Pressure Applied By Dentists during Cementation of All-Ceramic Crowns

OBJECTIVES To compare the finger pressure applied by dentists during cementation and to examine the effect of gender and time of day on finger pressure. METHODS Fifteen dentists (9 males, 6 females) formed a study group and 10 master dies in premolar shape and Turcom Cera all-ceramic crowns were prepared to measure the maximum finger pressure applied by dentists during cementation. The dentis...
