Stainless steel crowns are metal caps used by dental professionals to repair a decayed baby molar (back tooth) and prevent it decaying further. They are made to fit the exact size and shape of a child’s molar, and are used to cap teeth with large or deep cavities.

Stainless steel crowns are used as an alternative to silver and tooth-coloured fillings. These strong metal caps cover the entire tooth and are hard to lose or damage. They have a smooth polished surface which makes them easy to clean and most last four years or more.

Advantages of Stainless Steel Crowns

• They are very durable, wear well and are retentive.
• The time for placement is fast compared to other techniques.
• They may be used when gingival hemorrhage or moisture is present or when the patient exhibits less than ideal cooperation.
• They are fairly inexpensive .
