The 3M™ ESPE™ Stainless Steel
Permanent Molar Crown is a functional and economical
restoration. It provides excellent long-term performance
and patient comfort without jeopardizing future
treatment plans for a permanent restoration.
The procedure for a permanent molar crown differs somewhat from that of a primary molar crown. Marginal adaptation and finishing is more critical as consideration must be made for the periodontal reaction to the crown. In addition, when preparing a permanent molar for a stainless steel crown, future preparation needs for a permanent restoration must be considered. Indications Long-term provisional coverage of permanent molar teeth. For extensive caries involvement of a young permanent tooth requiring full coronal restoration. However, due to incomplete eruption, large pulp spaces, or uncertain eventual orthodontic status of the patient, a permanent is not a treatment option. For extensive caries involvement of a permanent posterior tooth that requires a "sedative" type restoration, but its retention is uncertain. A stainless steel crown will allow time for pulpal healing and establishing a long-term restorative treatment plan. As an interim restoration for posterior teeth with cracked tooth syndrome. As an interim restoration for a traumatically fractured posterior tooth involving significant coronal damage. As an interim, affordable restorative option for patients who must delay treatment due to financial considerations. As an interim restoration for an extensively damaged endodontically treated tooth. As full coverage for teeth with developmental defects such as amelogenesis imperfecta, dentino-genesis imperfecta, or enamel hypoplasia. |
