?:definition
  • Total dental crown prostheses designed for temporary (usually no more than a few weeks) restoration of a natural crown of a tooth by fitting around the remains of the tooth, covering the entire natural crown surface, and affixing to the surrounded tooth. These crowns are typically preformed devices made of plastics (e.g., cellulose acetate, polycarbonate) or nonprecious metals (e.g., aluminum); they are usually fixed to the tooth using self-adhesive or light-curing resins. Dedicated crowns are available in a variety of sizes and shapes for anterior teeth (e.g., incisors, canines) and posterior teeth (e.g., premolars and molars). Temporary total crowns are mainly intended for use as a restoration during dental treatments and/or until a permanent prosthesis is available.
