Anterior vs posterior selection matrix
Match crown material to tooth position, flexural strength, reduction requirement and soft-tissue response. All values are reviewed by Dr. Dhivakaran for Noble Dental Care.
| Crown type | Anterior teeth | Posterior teeth | Flexural strength | Indications | Contraindications |

Why crowns and bridges are essential after tooth damage
Leaving a tooth fractured or root canal treated without a definitive crown often leads to vertical cracks, reinfection and shifting bite. Our structured workflow protects the tooth, balances occlusion and preserves facial harmony.
Structural reinforcement
- Encases weakened tooth walls after root canal or large fillings
- Distributes biting load across the full crown circumference
- Prevents microleakage and recurrent decay under restorations
Occlusal stability
- Maintains vertical dimension, preventing TMJ strain
- Bridges stop drifting of adjacent teeth into missing spaces
- Protects opposing enamel with polished, contoured surfaces
Esthetics & phonetics
- Shade-matched ceramics restore natural light reflection
- Supports lip posture and speech by recreating tooth anatomy
- Corrects spacing and proportion as part of smile design
Bridge configurations engineered for longevity
Custom CAD-CAM workflows allow precision pontics, hygienic emergence profiles and screw-retained implant bridges when teeth are missing.
Conventional tooth-supported bridges
- Monolithic or layered zirconia up to 4 units with reinforced connectors
- Margin design respects periodontal biotype to avoid recession
- Ideal when abutment teeth have healthy root length and parallelism
Implant-supported full-arch
- Hybrid PEEK or titanium frameworks with nano-ceramic or zirconia overlay
- Screw-retained for retrievability and hygiene maintenance
- Immediate load option with progressive torque protocol
Adhesive & minimal prep bridges
- Maryland-style zirconia wings for young patients or anterior spacing
- High-bond resin cements paired with enamel preservation
- Best for single missing incisors with stable occlusion
Do’s ✅ and Don’ts ❌ for long-lasting crowns
Follow these guidelines during the first 72 hours and throughout the life of your crown or bridge to maintain the glaze and cement seal.
✅ Do this
- Use non-abrasive toothpaste and soft brush around margins
- Floss with crown-safe threaders or water flosser nightly
- Wear prescribed night guard if you clench or grind
- Schedule bite check 7–10 days after cementation
- Rinse with alcohol-free mouthwash to protect resin cement
❌ Avoid this
- Crushing ice, nuts or hard candies during first week
- Using teeth to open packets or bottles
- Skipping professional cleaning — plaque weakens margins
- Chewing tobacco or acidic gummies that stain ceramic
- Delaying review if sensitivity or rocking is felt
Clinical checkpoints
- Annual X-ray ensures margins remain sealed
- Glaze refresh every 24 months for nano-ceramic hybrids
- Torque check for implant bridges every 6 months
Tooth conditions that modify crown or bridge selection
Before finalising a crown, we evaluate residual tooth structure, periodontal support, occlusion and systemic health to avoid premature failure.
Limited crown height
- Choose Solid Plus zirconia or DMLS PFM to maximise retention at 0.8 mm thickness.
- Plan crown lengthening if ferrule height drops below 2 mm circumferentially.
- Avoid printed hybrids unless bonded to additional prep grooves.
High caries or acidic saliva
- Use Classic/Ultra Plus zirconia or Nova PFM with glass ionomer bases for seal.
- Book quarterly fluoride varnish; avoid Permaprint hybrids without glaze maintenance.
- Monitor diet to limit pH swings that break down adhesive cements.
Parafunction / bruxism
- Prefer BruxCare zirconia, Solid Plus or high noble alloy to absorb load.
- Night guard mandatory when using layered zirconia or printed hybrids.
- Design bridges with 12 mm² connectors and splint adjacent units.
Gum recession & thin biotype
- Platinum/Premium layered zirconia masks metal-free while staying lifelike.
- Avoid metal collars; select supragingival margins and pink porcelain if needed.
- Polish emergence profile to protect delicate papilla.
Minimal inter-arch space
- Select Solid Plus zirconia or high noble alloy at 0.8 mm clearance.
- PEEK hybrids only when ≥4 mm vertical room allows composite layering.
- Digitally equilibrate occlusion prior to milling or casting.
Compromised abutment / post core
- Use DMLS or Nova PFM for customised post-and-core grip and solder-free strength.
- Upgrade to implant-supported bridge if root fracture risk is high.
- Maintain >2 mm ferrule and evaluate with CBCT when doubt remains.
Bond-dependent enamel
- Reserve IPS e.max or Lava Ultimate for preparations with ≥70% enamel for bonding.
- Sandblast and silanate before adhesive cementation to maximise bond strength.
- Switch to zirconia or metal if dentin exposure dominates and isolation is compromised.
Metal sensitivity & soft tissue care
- Choose PEEK hybrids or high-translucency zirconia when nickel sensitivity is reported.
- Layer pink composite or ceramic to mask recession in thin biotype cases.
- Limit non-precious alloys to posterior zones with impeccable hygiene compliance.
