Dental Crowns (Capsule)

The term "capsule" is used in the dental field to indicate an artificial dental crown, consisting of a metallic heart extremely resistant and from a glossy coating resin or ceramic. Just like a protective shell, the capsule plays a dental heavily damaged tooth, strengthens the structure and protects it from irreparable fractures. The surgery that involves the insertion of the dental crown on the tooth is called encapsulation dental.

Encapsulation is done in the following circumstances:
1). The tooth is affected by caries extensive and deep, and can not be healed by simple filling.
2). The tooth is seriously compromised by infections of the dental pulp.
3). The tooth is chipped, broken or seriously injured.
4). The tooth is extremely fragile and prone to breakage.
5). The tooth has been devitalized and needs a new artificial crown Cover a dental implant.
6). Dental diseases that lead to the gradual disintegration of the dental enamel.

Application

Before proceeding with the dental encapsulation, you must remove the crown of the natural tooth damaged - the portion of the tooth that protrudes from the socket - in order to create the space necessary to insert the dental capsule.

The following points are described for the intermediate steps necessary to encapsulate a tooth:

After removing the crown with special cutters natural damaged, the dentist will take an impression dental: dental records from the patient is obtained by a model of the tooth, sent to the laboratory, then serve to build perfectly the size of the capsule.
Subsequently, the patient is applied a provisional dental capsule, composed of acrylic resin (waiting for the final capsule is constructed in the laboratory).
Before completing dental capsule (final), the patient is called in the dental office to assess, together with the physician, shape and colour of the new crown. The capsule, in fact, must possess the same shape of the crown removed and the same colours of the other teeth. As just one example, would not make sense to place the cartridge and glossy white teeth yellow teeth or a deeper colour of the coveted candour. The ideal shade of the capsule is decided together with the dentist, with the aid of a standard colour scale that will serve as a model.
Once ready, the capsule must be tested directly in the patient, so that it can possibly be retouched or modified before being fastened definitively.
When was defined and modified perfectly, the capsule can be cemented into the tooth.

A well-made capsule will go unnoticed and no one will realize that the crown of the natural tooth is replaced with a dental prosthesis. Whereas the capsules are implanted to correct a possible damage or injury dental serious, the result is often very satisfactory and the patient appears enthusiastic effect achieved.

Similar to natural teeth, the capsules also require careful dental hygiene. The tooth must be encapsulated brushed and cleaned just like a natural tooth.

The capsules dental require periodic inspections and specific every 6-12 months.
