Reading time ~ 3 min Number of readings: 77101

The natural color is milky white, a little translucent. If the teeth are white - the dentist intervened, such tones do not exist from birth. The shade depends on the dentin and enamel.

What are the best crowns to put on chewing teeth?

Various prosthetic structures and materials are used to replace chewing teeth, the choice of which depends on the degree of damage to the unit. The masticatory group includes premolars (4, 5), molars (6, 7, 8) located on the sides of the tooth row. These units (except for the "eights") are millstones, whose function is to thoroughly grind food for subsequent digestion by the body. That is why crowns for chewing teeth are made of strong materials that can withstand high loads.

A dental crown is a single denture that mimics the supragingival portion of a tooth. Since premolars and molars are constantly exposed to high loads, and care for them is difficult due to the peculiarities of anatomy, location - they are more susceptible to destruction as a result of trauma, decay, other dental diseases. If the supragingival part is destroyed by more than 50%, an artificial crown will help restore the functionality of the unit. Create such prostheses from different m…

In turn, to ensure maximum comfort, it is necessary to take care of the maximum authenticity of the dental prosthesis. In particular, it is important to preserve the occlusal surface features of the lower and upper teeth - the chewing surface and the incisal edge - in the denture.

A common tool for determining the correct orientation and trajectory of the patient's jaws, as well as the direction of the sagittal and transversal curves, is the facial arch.
