Question 1

what is the solution for composite restoration overhanged proximally in rct tooth?do i have to remove old one and replace it or crowning the tooth?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It really depends on the condition of the tooth, is it otherwise healthy with intact walls?
If so then have the filling replaced so you floss there without a problem .
If the tooth is heavenly restored with large or multiple filling then crowning the tooth would be best.

Question 2

what is crowning? normally those that did root canal treatment did the crowning also. does it permanently stick to teeth?

Accepted Answer

Tooth Covering: A crown, also referred to as a cap, is a covering that is placed over a tooth. Crowns are placed to protect a tooth from failure, such as breaking, or to replace parts of a missing tooth. A crown is permanently cemented to the tooth. If the crown falls off it can easily be recemented by a dentist.

Question 3

what could cause an alignment problem after crowning?

Accepted Answer

Crown too high: In most instances the crown is too high thus, causing your tooth alignment to become uncomfortable. This could easily be corrected by seeing your dentist to adjust the occlusal interference and thus, improving your alignment.

Question 4

what will i need to avoid  after a tooth crowning?

Accepted Answer

No Sticky Foods: No sticky foods like taffy, jujubes, abba zabba that could stick to the crown and it's opposing tooth and pull the new crown off.  The crown cement needs to set.

Question 5

does teeth crowning require anesthesia?

Accepted Answer

Just local: No need for anything more.  I find that giving only what is needed and thereby decreasing risk by not adding more drugs is the safest way to practice.

Question 6

how long does he have to wait before he can eat again after a crowning?

Accepted Answer

Immediately: Modern permanent cements used for placement of crowns set up within 10 to 20 minutes. Some resin cements set up immediately. You can safely eat on a permanent crown as soon as you leave the dental office.

Question 7

is there pain relief for crowning in birth?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Delivery is the ultimate pain relief but prior to delivery, an epidural is useful for pain relief.  If labor is too quick and/or an epidural is not available; a pudendal block (injection) can be placed by your OB and this helps tremendously, especially with first time moms who are experiencing lots of pain.  Discuss your options with your OB before labor.  Take care.

Question 8

i am 21 and having a natural home birth. what does crowning feel like?

Accepted Answer

Don't : Would reccommend against this as occasionally immediate intervention is needed by an md.

Question 9

i have little white bumps around the crowning of my penis?

Accepted Answer

Lichen Nitidus: Possibly a skin disorder called lichen nitidus. Many bumps, discolorations, and textures can be normal.  But, some are early signs of infection, or disease.  A urologist, dermatologist, or visit to your family doctor may save you a lot of trouble later.

Question 10

how can you repair teeth crowning?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Do you mean repairing a tooth with a crown or repairing a tooth with a crown already on the tooth? Repairing a tooth with a crown on is often possibly by putting a small filling at the edge of the crown where there is decay. If you mean repairing a tooth by placing a crown, then it is an entirely different procedure. After preparing the tooth, a dental lab makes the crown & the dentist cements it.
