Posterior Crown

by admin

What is posterior Crown?

Post crowns may be used when the tooth has been root filled. The weakened crown of the tooth is drilled off at the level of the gum. The dentist makes a double-ended ‘post’ to fit into the root canal. This can be either prefabricated stainless steel or custom made of gold. One end of the post is cemented into the root canal, and the other end holds the crown firmly in place.

What are the Advantages of Posterior Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns provide an adequate solution to a range of dental problems. They are able to:

  • Support a tooth that has been significantly damaged by decay
  • Protect a tooth that has worn away from being damaged further
  • Protect a tooth after a root canal procedure
  • Hold a severely cracked or broken tooth together
  • Cover a dental implant
  • Improve the appearance of a tooth by changing its shape or color

How long do Posterior Dental Crowns last?

Dental crowns are a good long-term option because they are durable and usually last for at least 5-15 years, which increases patient satisfaction with the treatment.

Treatment with dental crowns has a high success rate with respect to either other dental restoration methods or no treatment at all. This has been supported by various scientific studies which researched their use.
