Preserving a tooth until its physiological change.
The use of standard crowns for the restoration of primary teeth is the most effective method of treating complicated caries, which allows you to preserve a tooth until its physiological change.
STAGES OF TREATMENT
The prevalence of tooth caries in primary teeth in children is increasing. This disease is diagnosed at the age of one year, and among three-year-old children it can reach 80 % or more.
The treatment of baby teeth is a rather challenging task for a dentist. This is due to the disturbing behaviour of small patients, a small working area and a large number of complications of tooth caries, such as pulpitis and periodontitis.
After removal of the nerve (pulpotomy or pulpectomy), the crown often collapses by more than 2/3 and has thin walls. Therefore, dental fillings fall out and have various defects, which leads to multiple interventions, early removal of primary teeth, malocclusion and impaired chewing function.
Parents often have doubts about the treatment, not to mention prosthetics of baby teeth. However, this is important not only to maintain the aesthetics and functionality of the dentition, but also for the health of future permanent teeth.
Modern technologies for crowns make it possible to save primary teeth until their physiological change, to prevent an impaired chewing function, bite problems and other complications.
Types of crowns for children’s teeth
Standard crowns are used for prosthetics in children. They got this name because they are made (formed) in advance and presented in various sizes.
The price of crowns for baby teeth depends on how much they need to be restored, as well as on the materials which they are made of.
The most common materials for such prostheses are stainless steel, nickel-chromium alloy, metal composite and zirconium. They have an anatomical shape similar to children’s teeth and thin walls, but they are durable and not prone to chipping. The white coating allows dentists to match the colour of the crown to the colour of the teeth. Zirconium crowns can be used for those who suffer from allergic reactions to metals.
Indications for installing crowns for baby teeth
Indications for prosthetics are:
- 1. Restoration of more than two tooth surfaces when tooth caries is found.
- 2. Restoration of primary teeth in children with high caries activity (multiple acute caries).
- 3. After root canal treatment.
- 4. After a tooth injury.
- 5. When incomplete development of enamel and dentin is found.
- 6. More than 2/3 of hard tissues are affected.
- 7. In children with bruxism and severe tooth wear.
- 8. Lack of conditions for restoration with the use of filling materials.
- 9. Protection of teeth affected by caries from complete decay.
Care for crowns
Crowns are easy to care for. They require the same care as your own teeth — brushing with toothpaste and a brush at least twice a day and using dental floss.
Every 3-4 months it is necessary to undergo a preventive examination and professional cleaning at the dentist office.
Porcelain Features
In comparison with restoration with fillings, crowns for children have several advantages, namely they:
- - accelerate the recovery process,
- - reduce the risk of tooth caries complications, such as repeated toothache and swelling,
- - are able to preserve occlusion,
- - make it possible to fully bite off and chew food,
- - maintain the dental aesthetics,
- - reduce the likelihood of re-treatment,
- - reduce treatment costs.

Initially, a child is not put under complete anesthesia, rather under the initial phase or sedation. A child’s central nervous system is not completely switched off. The child breathes on its own, moves and easily wakes up, just like during a regular sleep.
A childern’s detective quest developed by the Vzaperi team and Porcelain, which helps children take an approach to a dentist as if it were an adventuresome upbeat story.
Parents have one choice: correction with removable plates at the ages of 6 to 10 years or a long-term remedial measure with the help of braces at an older age.
Modern-day parents know all too well that baby teeth must be treated!
Up on the first signs of cavities in a child's baby teeth, we recommend not postponing a visit to a dentist.
Recesses in the teeth (fissures) are covered with a special hermetic seal, which prevents food from getting caught in the recess as a result of which bacteriaforms. This helps secure and preserve the chewing teeth for 1.5-2 years.
