A strip crown is a type of dental restoration used in pediatric and preventive dentistry to restore the function and aesthetics of a tooth that has been damaged or decayed. Strip crowns involve preparing the tooth by removing a portion of the tooth enamel to allow a dental crown to be placed. Once prepared, the dental crown is cemented onto the tooth, restoring its strength and functionality.
A strip crown is typically made of materials such as porcelain, acrylic resin, or gold. The strip is bonded to the tooth using dental cement, ensuring a tight and secure fit. The length and shape of the strip are customized to match the individual tooth.
Strip crowns are commonly used in pediatric dentistry due to their ability to provide a strong and aesthetically pleasing restoration for children. They can also be used in preventive dentistry to protect newly erupted teeth from further damage
