[3] [4] This problem has not been realised with one study showing long-term data beyond five years, to when the baby teeth are lost, with fewer problems from the tooth with the crown. Crowns placed using the Hall Technique have better long term outcomes (pain/infection and need for replacement) compared with standard fillings. [5] [6] [7]
Mader’s “two-tooth” rule can help distinguish between tooth fusion and gemination. If the double tooth is counted as two teeth and the number of teeth in the mouth is increased, then the double tooth is likely due to tooth gemination. [1] If the double tooth is counted as two teeth, and the number of teeth in the dental arch is normal ...
A systematic review concluded that for decayed baby (primary) teeth, putting an off‐the‐shelf metal crown over the tooth (Hall technique) or only partially removing decay (also referred to as "selective removal" [5]) before placing a filling may be better than the conventional treatment of removing all decay before filling.

According to a recent study, baby teeth contain an abundance of stem cells, a very special type of cell that can potentially grow replacement tissue in the body and cure a number of diseases.
[4] [2] If a double tooth is present, then there may be a higher chance of other dental anomalies (see Related Abnormalities section). [1] [5] Double teeth are usually larger than normal teeth, may have an incisal notch present on the crown of the tooth, and may have a groove/fold in the enamel on the labial surface that can extend further down ...
Pediatric crowns are dental crowns that provide full coverage for primary teeth. They can be made of different materials including stainless steel, polycarbonate, zirconium, or composite resin. They can be made of different materials including stainless steel, polycarbonate, zirconium, or composite resin.
[2] [3] [4] During initial development of implant retained teeth, all crowns were attached to the teeth with screws, but more recent advancements have allowed placement of crowns on the abutments with dental cement (akin to placing a crown on a tooth). This has created the potential for cement, that escapes from under the crown during ...
In dentistry, a crown or a dental cap is a type of dental restoration that completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. A crown may be needed when a large dental cavity threatens the health of a tooth. Some dentists will also finish root canal treatment by covering the exposed tooth with a crown.
