When a crown is placed, the dentine may be exposed if the tooth has been significantly prepared or if the crown is not properly fitted. Maintaining the health of the dentine is crucial, as it can be susceptible to decay or sensitivity if not adequately protected by the crown.

A temporary crown, made of plastic or metal is cemented in place on the prepped tooth. 6. At a second appointment, the temporary crown is removed and the new permanent crown is put in place. 7.
