Abstract

This article details the clinical techniques for conventional preformed metal crown placement. It aims to increase the readers' awareness of the clinical advantages of preformed metal crowns and the indications for their use. The second part will discuss the Hall Technique.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: This two-part article aims to guide the reader through the conventional and alternative techniques available for placement of a preformed metal crown whilst providing an update of the evidence for each.

Article

This two-part article will be looking at preformed metal crowns (PMCs), also known as stainless steel crowns (SSCs), which have been in use since the 1950s. They are prefabricated crown forms that can be adapted to individual primary molars as a definitive restoration. In this first part, the indications, evidence and the conventional technique will be described. The second paper will discuss the new and innovative technique for placing these crowns known as the ‘Hall Technique’, together with aesthetic crowns.

Primary teeth in young children are vital to their development as they:1

However, the most important reason to restore the primary dentition is the management of caries in children, which can otherwise progress to pain, infection/sepsis and hospital admissions.2

PMCs are widely accepted by paediatric dentists, including the American Association of Paediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) as the restoration of choice for primary molars.3,4
