RCT Crowns : Standards and Gauges
Hi,
We've undergone a RCT and are looking to understand if there are any standards and gauges to assess the tooth crowns.
As of now, we have been given high level details on Metal and Zirconium crowns not technically but economically.
We are looking to understand what are the technical and functional factors of a crown to look for when choosing a crown for a biting teeth.
All Help highly appreciated.
With many advance Thanks and Regards,
Lakshmanan Chidambaram

The factors to look for when deciding for crowns are mainly based on two things I.e. function & esthetics.
Function is when you can properly chew your food with minimum discomfort & maximum strength while protecting the tooth underneath the crown.
Esthetics is when your new crown closely mimics the natural anatomy of your natural tooth so that it can enhance the appearance of the patient.
Lastly your crown should provide a long lasting & effective treatment needs so that you don't have to worry about anything else.
The best quality of crowns available are zirconia crowns which easily fulfills all the above requirements.
Next Steps
Ask your dentist about the crowns & best possible option available for you

Hello chidambaram, any root canal treated tooth needs a crown and if its posterior teeth then you need a metal crown to have a sound tooth. This is function based treatment. If anterior tooth then you need to go by your dentists ' advice depending up on your needs. More aesthetic restoration then it's price is higher.

Zirconium crowns(full ceramic/metal free ceramic ) are more Advanced in the way they are fabricated. (3d printing in raw terminology ) you can expect exact fit and contours compared to metal ceramic crowns.
Coming to variations in zirconium I don't find much difference between the high end companies and the regular ones. If price is not a factor opt zirconium crowns. other better option will be DMLS crowns in metal ceramic. You can expect the same fit as the zirconium crowns.
Health Tips
Don't opt for the high end zirconium crowns
