Types of pediatric crowns
Stainless steel crowns have been used from 1940. These are employed in milk teeth or primary teeth and are also known as silver crowns. They are very durable, corrosion resistant and are advantageous in protecting the decayed tooth of children.
Composite crowns are made of hardening composite material with clear plastic or mold. They are widely used in restoring the anterior teeth of children. These crowns provide esthetic restoration and the materials used in this crown are affordable, but they are more prone to fracture.
Polycarbonate crowns are made of polycarbonate resin shells with microglass fibers and have been temporarily used to restore children's teeth. They are slightly translucent and tooth colored.
Resin veneer crowns are a combination of stainless steel and resin. They are widely used for intermediate to long-term restorations.
Zirconia ceramic crowns are made of zirconium oxide stabilized with yttrium oxide. These are highly durable and are used for restoring both anterior and posterior teeth. They have been used use since 1970 for adults and for children since 2010.
