The preformed stainless steel crown for restoration of permanent posterior teeth in special cases

Investigation of adult stainless steel crown longevity as an interim restoration in pediatric patients

“…The standard of care in the instance of the severely compromised young permanent tooth is not clearly delineated in the literature and there is limited research describing related restorative techniques. The adult tooth stainless steel crown is generally reserved for the dental patient who requires a restoration to replace a large multisurface decay/defect on a permanent tooth and presents with challenges such as: age, dental development, anxiety, physical limitations, and guardian's expectations, which preclude permanent full coverage restoration placement. Intracoronal restorations are not considered because they can be un‐retentive due to: missing supporting tooth structure, lack of surface area for bonding, or subgingival placement.…”

Operative treatment of young permanent teeth is especially difficult under certain circumstances, especially those relating to large carious lesions extending over 2/3 of the occlusal surface, hypomineralized enamel, amelogenesis imperfecta, or endodontically treated teeth.…”

Operative treatment of young permanent teeth is especially difficult under certain circumstances, especially those relating to large carious lesions extending over 2/3 of the occlusal surface, hypomineralized enamel, amelogenesis imperfecta, or endodontically treated teeth. The task is compounded by the fact that young permanent teeth are partially erupted, and will continue to erupt and alter position in the mouth, which will change the margins of any existing restoration.…”

Management of Multiple Traumatic Injuries in a Single Patient - A Case Report

“…Until fixed restoration is feasible, an adolescent dentition requires a transitional restorative approach [12]. Croll and Castaldi reported that in certain situations, the preformed stainless steel crowns can be a respectable interim restoration for a permanent tooth until a more desirable full cast crown is possible [13]. Stainless steel crown was contraindicated in this case as it involves the esthetic zone.…”

Successful Bleaching of Teeth with Dentinogenesis Imperfecta Discoloration: A Case Report

“…Several authors have discussed the dental management of this condition, and a gamut of options has been proposed. These include carbamide peroxide bleaching, 9 complete coverage crowns, 10–12 veneers, 13 stainless steel crowns, 14 overdentures, 15,16 and dental extractions followed by fixed implant therapy 12 . The broad range of treatment options reported in the literature probably suggests that different levels of severity of DI exist among different patients.…”
