Due to the diet, oral hygiene and the children’s active lifestyle, their teeth run the risk of developing dental cavities. Even though baby teeth are temporary, they play a vital role in your kid’s smile and they need to receive the appropriate care and attention.
The denture of the younger ones is especially delicate and to this it must be added that both their eating and hygiene habits do not always help to keep them in a perfect condition.
When the teeth are very damaged or they have suffered severe alterations due to the cavities, we have the great solution of the pediatric steel crowns. Keep reading and discover their importance:
What are the steel crowns?
The chromium steel crowns are pre manufactured extracoronal restorations (full covers of infant dental pieces), useful in the restoration of very deteriorated infant teeth, primary molars subjected to a pulp treatment and primary or permanent hypoplastic teeth, restoration of complex lesions, and patients with high risk of cavities.
These crowns represent the treatment choice of the complex and extensive cavities in temporary molars, since they offer retention and resistance, a lot of times unreachable with other types of conventional restorations. They protect the whole molar effectively, avoiding the appearance of new cavities in other surfaces.
Chromium Steel Crowns benefits:
With the chromium steel crowns the kid’s affected tooth gets a better support and a restoration and it will facilitate the correct growth of the permanent teeth.
In addition to this, the chromium steel crowns have a lot of benefits, like:
- Resistance
- Increased durability
- Laying time: easy and quick.
- Full protection for the affected tooth.
- Considerably lower cost
And although these types of crowns aren’t highly esthetics, we should consider that the main goal is to keep the presence of the tooth, so we don’t lose functions like chewing and we avoid the mesialization of the other dental pieces.
In NuevSi Health we are committed in providing your kid the best possible treatment to help them develop a healthy and strong smile to enjoy a lasting oral health.
