Replacement of unaesthetic crowns on the upper central teeth after undergoing crown lengthening and fabrication of new restorations. Crown lengthening is often done in conjunction with a few other expensive and time-consuming dental procedures (e.g. post and core, endodontic treatment) with the ultimate goal of saving the tooth. The prognosis ...
Perikymata (Greek plural of περικύμα, perikyma) are incremental growth lines that appear on the surface of tooth enamel as a series of linear grooves. [1] In anatomically modern humans, each perikyma takes approximately 6–12 days to form. Thus, the count of perikymata may be used to assess how long a tooth crown took to form.
Building up bone around implants placed in tooth sockets after tooth extraction; Socket preservation for future implantation of false teeth or prosthetics; Sinus Lift Elevation prior to implant placement; Filling of bone after removing the root of a tooth, cystectomy or the removal of impacted teeth
When extracting lower wisdom teeth, coronectomy is a treatment option involving removing the crown of the lower wisdom tooth, whilst keeping the roots in place in healthy patients. This option is given to patients as an alternative to extraction when the wisdom teeth are in close association with the inferior alveolar nerve , and so used to ...
Blood vessels grow in the dental follicle and enter the dental papilla in the cap stage. [1] Groups of blood vessels form at the entrance of the dental papilla. The number of blood vessels reaches a maximum at the beginning of the crown stage, and the dental papilla eventually forms in the pulp of a tooth.

[1] [2] They are widely used for restoring the primary anterior teeth (e.g. due to early childhood caries) and discolored teeth. These crowns are aesthetic, affordable, and conservative, requiring minimal enamel removal. [1] [2] However, they are technique sensitive to place, and are more likely to fail if oral hygiene is inadequate. [2]
