Abstract
Dental caries is a major health problem in pre school, primary school going children and adolesecents. However, every individual is susceptible to this ailment during the course of its life. A number of treatment modalities are available for restoring primary incisors which include pre-veneered stainless steel crowns, polycarbonate crowns, resin strip crowns and zirconia crowns. This case report demonstrates a clinical technique for restoring primary incisors using a new temporization material. Keywords: Dental caries, Crowns, Temporization material, Primary incisors.
Highlights
Esthetic rehabilition of deciduous teeth is one of the most challenging encounters a dentist faces in day to day practice
Step 2: Tooth preparation: Crown cutting was done in such a way that 1.5 mm of tooth structure was removed uniformly from all sides (Fig. 4) Step 3: Selection of strip crowns: An appropriate-sized strip crown was selected according to mesiodistal width to fabricate the crown.(Fig. 5,6) Step 4: Strip crown loading: Shade selection was done in accordance with the adjacent teeth and strip crown was loaded with luxa crown material using automix syringe
Satisfactory results were obtained with good esthetics. (Fig. 8)
Summary
Esthetic rehabilition of deciduous teeth is one of the most challenging encounters a dentist faces in day to day practice. With the innovations in the field of esthetic dentistry, newer dental materials and techniques are emerging into clinical practice.[2]. Composite resin strip crowns are the most commonly used crowns in pediatric dentistry for restoring anterior teeth[3]. Despite having good esthetics and higher success rate, the results can still be compromised due to difficulty in maintaining isolation in children, shorter clinical crowns and technique sensitivity[4].Other esthetic crowns include prefabricated zirconia, pre veneered stainless steel and polycarbonate crowns[5]. These crowns exhibit superior esthetics and better retention, but difficult marginal adaptation to the tooth and higher cost are their major drawbacks
