Introduction.
Functional disability of a Pt. is increased by increasing the MT number.
Tooth ability to withstand normal function is decreased with the loss of tooth sound tissues.
Successfully saving a badly damaged tooth requires a thoughtful combination of many aspects of dental treatment.
In the questionable and strategic teeth, think how to replace before extraction.
A thorough background in the principles and techniques of restorative dentistry are required.

Introduction.
In the treatment planning and evaluation for tooth crowning , which is the topic of the lecture, as in any other treatment planning, there is one principle that should be kept in mind: treatment simplification.
The restorative dentist, or prosthodontist, is the one who should manage the sequencing and referral to other specialist. Because he is the one who will finish the treatment.
Based on the collected data (x Ray, study models and clinical Exam.) evaluation of each case could be done properly.

1.Restoration requirements.
All the requirements for tooth crowning are done for sound and vital teeth which :
Have Sound bone and periodontal tissue. Normal anatomy of the crown . Have normal 3D position in the dental
arch; So that a compromised tooth needs to be
evaluated based on biologic ,mechanic , functional and aesthetic principles before being ready for crowning.

2.A.Patient-level risk factors
Behavioral risk factors Compromised or poor oral hygiene Cariogenic diet Low exposure to fluoride Parafunctional habits Ability and willingness to adhere to a
long-term maintenance protocol SmokingThese facotors affect the prognosis of
the case.
![Page 11: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2.B.Tooth evaluation, Pulpal/endodontic status
The loss of structural integrity associated with the access preparation, rather than changes in dentin, that lead to tooth fracture.
Prior to core build-up, an assessment should be made of the pulpal status of the tooth in question. If the pulp is exposed or there are signs/symptoms of irreversible pulpitis, endodontic treatment should be performed.
In the case of an ET tooth, the quality of the treatment should be assessed clinically and by the x ray.
![Page 12: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2.B.Tooth evaluation, Pulpal/endodontic status
• Existing ET treated teeth need to be assessed carefully for the following:
Good apical seal and lesion free. No sensitivity to pressure. No exudate. No fistula. No apical sensitivity. No active inflammation.
![Page 13: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2.B.Tooth evaluation, Pulpal/endodontic status
Unacceptable ET should be retreated in spite of the lack of any symptom, others believe that a free symptom short RCT done 6 month ago is different from that one done 6 years ago.
Posting procedures require the removal of the RCF which will disturb the state of the delicate balance between the poor ET and the body defense mechanism causing flare up
Today, ET results are reproducible, and predictable therefore the restoration procedures can commence in 2-3 weeks following the completion of the ET .
![Page 14: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2.C. Periodontal/occlusal assessment
Periodontal and gingival tissues should be sound and bleeding free. Evaluation should be done after excavation of carious tooth tissues. The gingival tissue represent the biologic width which should never be violated by the restoration.
Teeth considered questionable were those with deep probing depths, furcation involvement, bone loss, and mobility.
![Page 15: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
2.C. Periodontal/occlusal assessment
It is beneficial to restore teeth to the physiologic occlusal plane and that over-erupted and tilted teeth can potentially prevent normal tooth contact during function and therefore require treatment.
In partly edentulous patients, such teeth may create a problem when restoring the opposing arch.
The scope of potential treatment ranges from enameloplasty or orthodontic treatment to extraction of severely tilted or over-erupted teeth.
![Page 16: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

2.C. Periodontal/occlusal assessment
Moderate cases may require a partial or a full-coverage restoration.
However, some cases may require a combination of endodontic treatment, crown-lengthening surgery, and a restoration to achieve a functional tooth that lies correctly within the occlusal plane.
In case of posterior mesially or lingually inclined teeth, its better to adjust it by orthodontic procedure otherwise it may need endo-treatment or using a partial crown.
Redistribution of the spaces to have normal size of the replaced teeth for esthetic reason is mandatory.

2.C. Periodontal/occlusal assessment
Due to the round section of their roots, upper central position can be corrected(to certain limits) if its rotated, in labial or in lingual position (no skeletal malocc)
In the young patients, with proximal caries, drift is more significant. Crowning of these teeth may affect the adjacent ones. However, 1/4 to 1/3 mm touch does not cause any problem. (don’t perforate the enamel).
Severe attrition caused by bruxism may affect little or at all the vertical dimension, because the eruption of the teeth compensates the loss of tooth tissues. Eruption done with the alveolar bone.

2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures.
In a 20-year retrospective study analysis of 1638 ET posterior teeth restored with amalgam without cusp coverage, fracture was a significant problem. Maxillary bicuspids with MOD restorations showed the lowest survival rate overall.
After 3 years period, the failure of resin-restored and amalgam restored ET teeth was similar.
![Page 31: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures.
The clinical longevity of ET posterior teeth (molars and bicuspids) is significantly improved with coronal coverage.
The amount of remaining tooth structure was a significant factor in tooth survival.
Aqualina et al found that ET teeth without crowns failed at a 6 times greater rate than crowned teeth.
The presence of a crown was more important than the type of foundation restoration, although it was noted that teeth with posts have decreased resistance to fracture.
![Page 32: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
1.Build up of the crownRoutine use of crown on ET may not be
necessary if the marginal ridge are intact Cuspal deflection increased with increasing
cavity size in mandibular molars, and it was greatest after endodontic access.
they concluded that cuspal coverage is important so as to minimize the danger of marginal leakage and cuspal fracture in ET teeth.

2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
1.Build up of the crown A compromised tooth needs to be evaluated
up to the amount of the lost tooth tissues and the functional stresses to withstand.
If the remaining sound tissues are less than 50%, an additional means to retain the core is needed using a post in the root canal.
However, preparation of a post space adds a certain degree of risk to a restorative procedure, that may be root perforation, also it may increases the chance of root fracture.
![Page 36: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
1.Build up of the crown For these reasons, posts should only be used when
other options are not available to retain a core. The need for a post varies greatly between the anterior and posterior teeth.
If an ET anterior tooth is to receive a crown, a post often is indicated. However, at least, 1mm of sound tissues after prep is necessary, build up could be done by LCC and prefabricated post if the tooth is thick enough , otherwise a casting post and core is indicated to withstand the occlusal forces.
![Page 40: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
2.D.Evauation of the remaining tooth structuresl.
1.Build up of the crown Unless the destruction of coronal tooth
structure is extensive(more than 50%) a post is not needed , the pulp chamber and canals provide adequate retention for a core buildup .
Molars resist primarily vertical forces. The post to be placed in the largest, straightest canal.
1. palatal canal in the Maxillary molars .2. distal canal in the Mandibular molars.3. Post should not extend more than 7mm into
the root apical to the orifice of the root canal.

Screw post and post in the mesial should be avoided
![Page 42: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
1.Build up of the crownPremolars are usually bulkier than anterior
teeth, but often are single-rooted teeth with relatively small pulp chambers.
For these reasons, they require posts more often than molars. Premolars are more likely than molars to be subjected to lateral forces during mastication. It is important to alleviate the lateral stresses . So that the canine will take over the lateral stresses.
![Page 43: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
1.Build up of the crown molars have more tooth substance and
a larger pulp chamber to retain a core buildup.
In general, parallel post are more retentive than
tapered post, and threaded posts are more retentive than cemented ones.
The use GG drills and P-reamers should precede the instrument use of any post drills that come with the prefabricated post kit.
![Page 44: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
1.Build up of the crownIMPORTANT PRINCIPLES FOR POSTS Retention and Resistance Retention is influenced the post’s length,
diameter and taper, the luting cement used and whether a post is active or passive.
Parallel posts are more retentive than tapered posts.
Diameter is less important than the other factors listed.
Resistance refers to the ability of the post and tooth to withstand lateral and rotational forces.
![Page 46: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
1. Build up of the crownAcceptable guidelines for determining thepost length include the following: the post length should be equal to the clinicalcrown length. the post length should be equal to 1/2 to 2/3 of
the length of the remaining root. the post should extend to 1/2 length ofthe root that is supported by bone. It is accepted widely that the post diameter makes
little difference in the retention of the post.
![Page 47: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
No matter how the length of the post is but 4-5 mm of gutta-percha is necessary to ensure an adequate apical seal.
Vertucci: FJ. Root Canal Anatomy of the human teeth 1984. Lateral Root Canal Occur:
73.5% in the apical third. 11.4% in the middle third. 6.2% in the cervical third. A root always contains a root canal even

2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
1. build up of the crown. Resistance is influenced by the remaining tooth
structure, the post’s length and rigidity, the presence of anti rotation features, and the presence of a ferrule.
A restoration lacking resistance form is not likely to be a long-term success, regardless of the retentiveness of the post.
Minimal enlargement of the post space means the post must be made of a strong material that can withstand functional and parafunctional forces.
Post maximum diameter 1/3 of the root section.

This cast post and core had adequate length for retention, but
failed because of the lack of resistance form.

2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
2.The Ferrule Effect The “ferrule effect” is important to long-term
success when a post is used. A ferrule is defined as a vertical band of tooth structure at the gingival aspect of a crown preparation. It adds some retention, but primarily provides resistance and enhance longevity.
studies have shown maximum beneficial effects from a ferrule with 1.5 to 2 mm or more of vertical tooth structure. Crown lengthening and forced eruption are used to expose the tooth sound tissue.
![Page 59: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

Corrosion due to leakage and to defect in the structure
![Page 62: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
corrosion
Dissimilar metals and alloys have different electric potentials. When two or more come into contact with one another a galvanic couple is created. One metal acts as an anode and the other as a cathode. There is a potential difference between the two dissimilar metals which causes an accelerated attack on the anode. The anode metal dissolves into the electrolyte and deposition is formed on the cathode metal.
![Page 63: Tooth assessment for crowning](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103000/554b5a46b4c905793d8b4e1b/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Corrosion
Corrosion can be defined as the graded degradation of materials by chemical or electrochemical attack. This phenomenon is of concern particularly when metallic implants, metallic/silver fillings, or orthodontic appliances are placed in the hostile electrolytic environment provided by the human mouth. Corrosion can severely limit the fatigue life and ultimate strength of dental materials leading to mechanical failure.

2. Ferrule effect: wide posts in severely compromised teeth with little or no residual crown structure will fail for a variety of reasons but typically by catastrophic root fracture.
Without adequate circumferential tooth structure, occlusal forces are directed internally down the root creating a wedge effect and the high likelihood of root fracture. Also incomplete ferrule which does not include the tooth filling in the cervical area may result in recurrent caries.

3. Margin location. Rules Can be used to place margins.Sulcus probes 1.5mm or less : margin could
be placed 0.5 mm below the gingival tissueSulcus probes more than 1.5 mm, margin can
be placed in half the depth of the sulcus.If the sulcus is greater than 2 mm
gingivectomy could be performed to lengthen the tooth and create 1.5 sulcus. Then the pt. can be treated as per the first rule.

2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
4. Evaluation of short teeth. The restoration of teeth with SCC has included the
following techniques: 1. Alteration of tooth preparation design and
placement of auxillary retention and resistance form features.
2. Placement of foundation restorations. 3. Surgical crown lengthening 4. Orthodontic eruption. 5. ET and overlay removable partial dentures. 6.Pulp chamber crown, and adjustment of the
opposed tooth to the physiologic occlusal plane and lower anterior teeth in deep overbite.

2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
5. crown lengthening Crown-lengthening surgery is designed to increase
the clinical crown length. To preserve biologic width. and prevent attachment loss, restorative margins should be at least 3-4 mm from crestal bone.
Sub gingival restorative margins should be properly contoured an adequate band of keratinized tissue is mandatory.
Consider the benefits of periodontal surgery and orthodontic extrusion in improving the restorability conditions of the damaged teeth with strong roots in the alveolar bone.

2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
5.Indication of crown lengthening; Inadequate clinical crown for retention due to
extensive caries , sub gingival caries or tooth fracture, root perforation, or root resorption within the cervical 1/3rd of the root in teeth with adequate periodontal attachment.
Short clinical crown. Placement of sub gingival restorative margins. Unequal, excessive or unaesthetic gingival level
for esthetics. Violation of biologic width.

2.D.Evaluation of the remaining tooth structures
5.Contraindication of crown lengthening. 1. Teeth with deep carious lesions or fractures. 2. With restorable teeth, crown lengthening is
contraindicated when there is an unfavorable crown-root .
3. Exposure of furcation introduces potential periodontal breakdown and puts prognosis of the tooth in question.
4. Crown lengthening on a single anterior tooth causes uneven gingival contour, which is esthetically unpleasing smile line .
5. Patients with debilitating systemic diseases or poor plaque control may compromise the healing potential and are contraindicated for surgery.
