&amp;gt; [!note] Overall Process
&amp;gt; 1.  **Clinical Examination &amp;amp; Diagnostic Models:** Initial assessment of the patient and dentition.
&amp;gt; 2.  **Treatment Plan:** Formulation of a plan, including the decision for a crown.
&amp;gt; 3.  **Patient Consent:** Informing the patient of all risks, benefits, and alternatives.
&amp;gt; 4.  **Tooth Preparation:** Preparing the tooth for the restoration.
&amp;gt; 5.  **Impression:** Taking a physical or digital impression.
&amp;gt; 6.  **Laboratory Fabrication:** The lab creates the permanent crown (approx. 2-3 weeks).
&amp;gt; 7.  **Try-in:** Evaluating the crown&amp;apos;s fit, function, and aesthetics.
&amp;gt; 8.  **Cementation:** Permanently bonding the crown if all criteria are met.
&amp;gt; 9.  **Review:** A follow-up appointment (1-2 weeks later) to check occlusion and patient comfort, as the patient is often numb during cementation.

		<formatted_text>- Assessing the tooth (+assessing all the dentition and the patient)

- **Individual Tooth Assessment:**
        - **Restorability:** Use periapical (PA) radiographs to assess the periapical status and remaining tooth structure. Any prerequisite treatments (e.g., endodontics, periodontal therapy) must be completed and stabilized first.
        - **Long-term Prognosis:** Evaluate if saving the tooth is worthwhile in the long run. Factors like extensive subgingival loss of tooth structure can compromise the prognosis even with a perfect crown.
    - **Dentition and Patient Assessment:**
        - **Holistic Approach:** A tooth cannot be treated in isolation. Control phases (e.g., periodontal and caries control) must be completed before restorative work.
        - **Complex Cases:** If a patient has generalized wear or requires complex oral rehabilitation (e.g., increasing the vertical dimension of occlusion - VDO), a single crown may need to be planned as part of a larger, comprehensive treatment plan. Placing a single crown first could lead to it being cut off and remade later.
        - **Patient Management:** Assess the patient&amp;apos;s ability to tolerate the procedure and their expectations. Unrealistic expectations (e.g., wanting a smile to look exactly as it did decades ago) can lead to dissatisfaction. It is crucial to manage these expectations or refer the patient if necessary.



## **Why Does a Tooth Need a Crown?**
**Considerations for a crown:**

- **Extensive Destruction of Tooth Structure:** To protect a tooth from uncontrolled fracture, especially when:
    - A cusp is lost.
    - A restoration covers three or more surfaces.
    - Large amalgam restorations are present, which may hide developing cracks.
    - &amp;gt; [!example] Anecdote
    &amp;gt; A patient fractured a premolar (1-5) with a small MO composite down to the bone level, rendering it non-restorable. A crown could have potentially prevented this.
- **Failure of Direct Restorations:** When direct composite restorations repeatedly fail due to a patient&amp;apos;s heavy occlusal forces or wear. Ceramic materials like zirconia offer much higher fracture toughness.
- **Enhanced Retention:** A full crown provides significantly more retention and resistance form compared to onlays or direct fillings.
- **Control of External Contour:** A crown allows for complete control over the tooth&amp;apos;s shape, which is essential for creating a **survey crown** to act as an abutment for a removable partial denture clasp.

&amp;gt; [!tip] Patient Communication
&amp;gt; - Explain the steps of the procedure to the patient, including the long appointment time, the need to reduce the tooth, taking impressions, and the use of a temporary crown.
&amp;gt; - Inform them that the temporary crown is not strong and is cemented with temporary cement so it can be removed. This manages expectations if it comes loose.</formatted_text>

		<formatted_text>## **Principles of Tooth Preparations**

### **ABUTMENT TOOTH**
- Principles of tooth preparation
- Partial or complete preparation

- A crown can be designed as a **survey crown** to provide ideal contours (guide planes, undercuts) for a removable partial denture (RPD) clasp, improving the stability and retention of the prosthesis.
- &amp;gt; [!warning] Clinical Scenario
&amp;gt; For an elderly patient with an existing RPD, crowning an abutment tooth is complex. It would require retrofitting the crown to the existing denture, which is difficult. It may be better to wait until the patient needs a new denture.



### **BIOLOGICAL**
- Conservation of tooth structure
- **Avoidance of overcontouring**
- Supragingival margins
- Harmonious occlusion
- Protection against tooth fracture

- **Pulp Health:** Crown preparation involves removing significant tooth structure, which poses a risk to the pulp. Patients must be informed that the tooth is already compromised and that there is a risk of needing root canal therapy in the future.
- **Periodontal Health:** The preparation and final crown margin must be designed to maintain gingival health.



### **MECHANICAL**
- Retention form
- Resistance form
- Deformation

- **Conservation of Tooth Structure:** While achieving mechanical goals, as much tooth structure as possible should be conserved to protect the pulp and maintain tooth strength.
- **Assessing Remaining Structure:** Before deciding to crown, it&amp;apos;s vital to assess what will be left after removing old restorations and caries. Removing a large, pin-retained amalgam might leave insufficient structure for a crown, making the situation worse.



### **AESTHETIC**
- Minimum display of metal
- Maximum thickness of porcelain
- Porcelain occlusal surfaces
- Subgingival margins

- **Patient Expectations:** The aesthetic goals of the crown must align with the patient&amp;apos;s expectations. It&amp;apos;s crucial to identify and manage unrealistic expectations early on.
- **Material Selection:** The choice of material (e.g., aesthetic Emax vs. strong Zirconia) will be guided by aesthetic demands versus functional requirements.</formatted_text>

Some pearls of wisdom:
- Carry out all investigations that COULD potentially change your treatment plan
- Not every tooth NEEDS a crown even if it meets the indications (It depends on the combination of unique clinical factors)
- Think about if your treatment is really going to benefit the patient (weighing against the financial+time commitments of the patient)</text>

		<text># Preparation stage

- **Before patient arrives:**
  - Decide on material of choice. Why is that material the best?
  - Approval of treatment plan (more on this later)
  - Wax up of tooth if any modifications require for existing tooth + putty key

- **Day of preparation**
  - Bring patient in, confirm treatment with them quickly, make sure they know what’s happening
  - Administer LA. (If you don’t have up to date opposing model because you did other restorative work since the diagnostic model, then take new impression. If you don’t have putty key, do it now)
  - Prep tooth according to guidelines for the correct materials. Check for undercuts and sufficient occlusal clearance
  - Make provisional restoration
  - Retraction cord + expasyl
  - Impressions, remove retraction cord!

- **Before patient arrives:**
  - Decide on material of choice. Why is that material the best?
  - Approval of treatment plan (more on this later)
  - Wax up of tooth if any modifications require for existing tooth + putty key

- **Putty Key Fabrication:** Create a putty key on a dental cast for a more accurate and easier fabrication of the provisional restoration.



- **Day of preparation**

1.  **Confirm Treatment &amp;amp; Anesthetize:** Confirm the plan with the patient and administer local anesthetic.
  2.  **Pre-operative Records:** Take a new opposing model or putty key if any changes have occurred since the initial records.
  3.  **Shade Selection:** Select the shade *before* preparing and dehydrating the tooth.
  4.  **Tooth Preparation:** Prepare the tooth according to the material guidelines.
  5.  **Check Preparation:** Ensure sufficient occlusal clearance and no undercuts.
  6.  **Provisional Restoration:** Fabricate the provisional crown *before* taking the final impression. This ensures the patient can leave with a temporary if the impression needs to be retaken.
  7.  **Impression:** Use retraction cord or a product like Exposil for soft tissue management, then take the final impression. **Remember to remove the retraction cord immediately after.**
  8.  **Temporization:** Cement the provisional restoration with temporary cement.

**ABSTRACT**

**Aim:** To evaluate the active tactile sensitivity in individuals with complete natural dentition, determining the smallest thickness detected by the participants, and clarifying if there is a difference between the thicknesses analyzed.

**Materials and methods:** Active tactile sensitivity was evaluated in 40 research participants. Inclusion criteria included participants with complete natural dentition, without active or history of periodontal disease, absence of temporomandibular disorders, bruxism, and restorations in the evaluated area. Exclusion criteria included age below 18 years. The active tactile perception threshold was evaluated by using carbon sheets of different thicknesses (0, 12, 24, 40, 80, 100, and 200 μm), which were inserted in the participants’ premolars, bilaterally. The carbon sheet was inserted so as not to come into contact with the oral soft tissues. Subsequently, the participant occluded and was asked about the perception of the intraocclusal object 20 times in each occlusal contact. The collected data were tabulated considering the amount of positive and negative responses for each carbon thickness. Values of *p* &amp;lt; 0.05 were considered significant.

**Results:** The results showed that there was linearity in perception, on both sides, besides, the natural dentition was able to perceive difference in thickness from 12 μm.

**Conclusion:** We conclude that the 12 μm thickness is noticeable in occlusion and can be differentiated from other thicknesses in natural dentition and that there is no difference between the tactile sensitivity of the right and left sides.

**Clinical significance:** A better understanding of active oral tactile sensitivity will contribute to numerous clinical applications in dentistry, including occlusal adjustment in dental rehabilitation, dental implants prosthesis design, and survival of prosthetic rehabilitation.

**Keywords:** Active tactile sensitivity, Dental occlusion, Mechanoreceptors, Oral proprioception, Periodontal ligaments, Permanent dentition.

- **Modify the morphology with diamond burs and soflex discs**
  - Send back for glazing
- Consider temporary cementation

- **Patient Approval:** Always show the patient the crown in a mirror and get their explicit approval before cementation.
- **Adjustments:**
    - Minor contouring (e.g., shortening) can be done chairside.
    - A shade that is too light can sometimes be stained and re-glazed.
    - A shade that is too dark, or a tooth that is too short, requires a remake.
- **If the patient is uncertain,** especially for anterior teeth, consider cementing the crown with **temporary cement**. This allows them to &amp;apos;test drive&amp;apos; the aesthetics for a week before final cementation, avoiding the difficult process of cutting off a permanently cemented crown.</formatted_text>

**ASSESSMENT OF THE SEATED CROWN**

**Finishing and Polishing**
- **Metal**: rubber polishing wheels and points
- **Ceramic**: Rough ceramic will wear the opposing teeth
  - Composite finishing rubber burs
  - Rubber cup and diamond polishing paste
  - Or send to laboratory for reglazing</text>
		<formatted_text>### **Finishing and Polishing**

&amp;gt; [!warning] Important
&amp;gt; Any areas of the ceramic that have been adjusted with a bur must be thoroughly polished to restore a smooth surface. A rough surface will feel uncomfortable and can cause wear on the opposing teeth.</formatted_text>

**Systematic approach**

1.  **Evaluation of the restoration on the die**
    a) Die and opposing model
    b) Internal surface of restoration
    c) Restoration on the model (die)

2.  **Seating the crown on the prepared tooth**
    a) Proximal contact
    b) Internal fit
    c) Marginal fit

3.  **Assessment of the seated crown**
    a) Stability
    b) Contour
    c) Occlusion
    d) Aesthetics</text>
		<formatted_text>## **Systematic approach**
1. **Evaluation of the restoration on the die**
   a) Die and opposing model
   b) Internal surface of restoration
   c) Restoration on the model (die)
2. **Seating the crown on the prepared tooth**
   a) Proximal contact
   b) Internal fit
   c) Marginal fit

&amp;gt; [!info] Rationale
&amp;gt; This sequence must be followed in order to correctly diagnose any fitting issues. A crown cannot seat fully if the proximal contacts are too tight.



3. **Assessment of the seated crown**
   a) Stability
   b) Contour
   c) Occlusion
   d) Aesthetics

&amp;gt; [!success] Conclusion
&amp;gt; The lecture emphasizes that a successful crown delivery relies on a systematic, step-by-step evaluation. By following the prescribed order (proximal contacts -&amp;gt; internal fit -&amp;gt; marginal fit -&amp;gt; stability, occlusion, aesthetics), clinicians can efficiently diagnose and resolve issues without creating new problems. The foundation for a good-fitting crown is a high-quality preparation and an accurate impression.</formatted_text>
