a crown in the size of the teeth
well it depeneds on want tooth you are replaceing.... or if your replaceing all of your teeth.
The crown of tooth is below the gum is true
The crown is superior to the neck of the tooth
The part of the tooth that is covered with enamel is the crown.
When you have a dental crown, it is less common to have a cavity on the tooth because it is protected. However, the place where the crown meets the tooth can still get a cavity, that is why hygiene is important even though a crown is on the tooth, especially flossing. The two ways to get a cavity under a crown are:A cavity started between the crown and the tooth at the gum level.There was a cavity left on the tooth when the crown was put (more rare).
if the crown is tight, be sure to keep the exposed tooth clean by daily brushing and flossing. its probably the root you are seeing and not the top of the tooth as it is reduced to a "peg" during crown preparation. Absolutely not, the whole idea of a crown is to make it look like a new tooth. It should look natural and nothing should show between the crown and the gum. The tooth that was prepared for crowing oviously had problems. Discoloration is common for teeth, especially around areas of decay. What your seeing is probally root structure. A common problem with crowning a tooth is the lab technician makes a crown that is too "bulky" at the tissue area, this in return causes "blanching" of the tissue. When blanching occurs the blood supply is blocked to the tissue area around the tooth, which will cause the tissue to die and recede away from that area. you can probally see the crown where it meets the tooth and think it is not covered but the area that was ground down is covered. If the area is in the front of the mouth you might want to refer to your doctor about a new or different approach.
The section of a tooth that extends from the incisal edge to the crest of the gingival is known as the clinical crown. It is the term loosely used to refer to the part of the tooth that is visible in the mouth.
New teeth are implanted by placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts like a natural tooth root. After healing, a crown is attached, mimicking the look and function of a real tooth.
The part of a tooth that is exposed and above the gum is called "crown", not to confuse with a crown that is prothesis to restore a heavily damaged tooth. The part of a tooth that is hidden inside the bone is called "root".
I would probably say: Mr. (your dentist's name here), this crown really does not resemble or fit like my original tooth, and i know you insist it is, but can you please double check? If it is my tooth, please explain to me why it does not resemble or fit like my original tooth.
enamel found only in the crown of the tooth ( the exposed part of the tooth ), dentin found in both the crown and the root of the tooth ( root : the embedded part of the tooth ) and cement which hold the tooth in it's place
