2. Crown (dental restoration) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_(dental_restoration)

   Temporary crowns can either be direct, if constructed by the dentist in the clinic, or indirect if they are made off-site, usually in a dental laboratory. Generally direct temporary crowns tend to be for short-term use. Where medium-term or long-term temporisation is required, the use of indirect temporary crowns should be considered. [10]

   Dental composites are also used as indirect restoration to make crowns and inlays in the laboratory. These materials are similar to those used in direct fillings and are tooth-colored. Their strength and durability is not as high as porcelain or metal restorations and they are more prone to wear and discolouration.
