Crown

1When restorative material forms the majority of the dental crown, the tooth will be quite fragile under biting force as the tooth substance is relatively thin.

2This may lead to cusp fracture.

3In severe cases the whole tooth may split into half. Tooth extraction will be unavoidable.

4If the crack reaches the pulp chamber and injures the nerves and blood vessels, pain will be experienced and abscess will be possibly formed.

5To avoid the consequences mentioned above.......

6The tooth is trimmed until enough space is available for the crown to fit on.

7The crown will be glued to the tooth and protecting it like a helmet.
