Advantages of Metal Free Crown Treatment
Metal Free Crown Treatment has emerged as a
better option to other types of dental crown
procedures. Read on to know about the composition
and advantages of this treatment.
Popularly known as Cap, a dental crown is
fitted over a tooth which needs restoration, as
well as for maintaining an aesthetic look and
improving its strength. A brief overview about
Metal Free Crown Treatment and its advantages
over other options is summarized below.

TYPES OF DENTAL CROWNS
Dental Crowns can be broadly classified into the
following three categories
All Metal Crowns
Known for their strength and durability, metal
crowns are made from gold or a gold alloy. Being
used for over 100 years, metal crowns are
considered to be good for molars as compared to
the front teeth because their color does not
matching with natural teeth.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns (PFM)
The PFM crowns became the standard of dentistry.
In PFM, the framework for the dental crown is
produced in metal and then covered with a
porcelain layer. PFM restorations are somewhat of
a hybrid between all-metal and all-ceramic
crowns, and make a good choice for either front
or back teeth.

ADVANTAGES OF METAL FREE CROWNS
Metal Free Dental Crowns have many advantages
over other types of crowns, which are as follows

• There's no better looking type of crown than the
  metal free ones, as they are similar to a real
  tooth. The lack of metal allows for a better
  color that looks translucent, just like the
  natural ones around it.
• Another advantage of the metal-free ceramic crown
  is the tooth-shaded margin, which need not be
  placed under the gum line. Thus, the crown margin
  does not irritate the gingival tissue and
  prevents gum recession. In PFM, the metallic and
  black lines are visible on the border of the
  crown.
• From health perspective, the mercury in PFM or
  metal crowns can have negative effects on your
  entire body. Metal free crowns do not pose any
  such danger.
• Many patients with PFM crowns experience
  sensitivity that can be painful, especially with
  extreme temperature changes when eating or
  drinking something cold or hot. With metal-free
  crowns, these pains are reduced drastically or
  are non-existent.
• The strength of metal free crowns is better than
  others, because in these crowns, porcelain is
  engineering with high strength compounds like
  lithium dislocate and zirconia.

In view of the above advantages, Metal Free Crown
Treatment has found wide acceptance over the last
decade, and its application is rapidly growing
since these are not only highly aesthetic and
translucent, but also offer high strength
restoration and outstanding marginal fit.
