Question

Within the lost wax technique, describe which procedures affect the dimensions of a metal crown and how you would compensate for those changes in order to obtain the most accurate restoration to fir your patient’s dentition.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A crown refers to a dental cap, which is a form of dental treatment that completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant.

Explanation:

• When a significant cavity affects the health of a tooth, a crown may be required.
• Dental cement is used to adhere a crown to the tooth.
• They may be manufactured out of a variety of materials that are often fabricated by indirect processes.
• Crowns are used to strengthen or improve the look of teeth, as well as to prevent degeneration. While the technique and materials are good to dental health, they can be pricey.
• Taking a dental imprint of a tooth taken by a dentist, then manufacturing the crown outside of the mouth, is the most frequent way of crowning a tooth.
• After that, the crown can be placed at a later dental session.
• This indirect approach of tooth restoration allows for the use of strong restorative materials that need time-consuming manufacturing under high heat, such as casting metal or burning porcelain, which would otherwise be impossible to do within the mouth.
• Some patients prefer gold for their crown fabrication because of its compatible thermal expansion, equivalent cost, and aesthetic advantage.
