An anatomical crown is the visible part of a natural tooth, made up by dentin covered with enamel. A dental crown is a prosthetic crown crafted by a dental technician.
A dental crown can be made as a full porcelain crown, but in most cases it is made by covering a metal cap with porcelain. The metal cap is used to give the tooth extra structural strength (especially in case of molar crowns) and can be made from metal alloy, gold alloy, or zirconium oxide (a mineral).
