2. Indication for a Crown
• Loss of a significant proportion of Coronal hard tissue, such
that the tooth requires circumferential bracing to support
structure and function.
• Loss of tooth structure can be due to,
- Dental Caries
- Access for endodontic therapy
- Fracture of the tooth
- Tooth wear due to Erosion, Abrasion or Attrition
• Cosmetic re contouring of the shape and color of teeth
• Modify the shape of teeth to support a prosthesis.

3. This Maxillary first Molar tooth had been restored with a Dental Amalgam restoration
18 years ago. The Amalgam restoration showed Clinical and Radiographic signs of
decay. Significant cracks were visible extending over the marginal ridges over the
tooth. The tooth was positive to cold testing and no symptoms were present. After
discussion the patient agreed to have the tooth crowned with a all ceramic lithium Di
silicate ( E-max) crown to achieve cuspal bracing.
