Dental crown and a method of fabricating and installing such a dental crown in one patient visit

摘要

A process to make/seat a permanent crown in only one patient visit, without the need for a temporary crown, after a digital scan or other impression has been taken prior during a dental cleaning appointment or status check up. The dental information is filed and can be used whenever the patient needs a dental restoration to be made. The impression information will have previously been forwarded to a dental laboratory where a shell-crown can be made that is a perfect match to the outer contour of the existing tooth. Needed improvements/corrections can be made with the use of digital software. Also the margins can be determined and corrected, even in the inter-proximal spaces. Now the laboratory is able to manufacture and provide a finished shell-crown in time for the following doctor appointment of this patient.
