What kind of crown is generally good for back teeth

Teeth are an indispensable tool for people to chew food, because teeth can chew the food eaten into the mouth into pieces, making it easier for the human body to absorb, so that it can more fully absorb the nutrients in the food. However, if the teeth are not carefully cared for and brushed seriously, they may be corroded by bacteria in the residual food, causing tooth decay. So, what kind of crown is better for the back teeth that are decayed?

There are many materials for porcelain crowns. Generally speaking, it is recommended to choose materials with better biocompatibility. It is recommended to eliminate tension. For the back teeth, it is recommended to choose mid-range or higher materials, such as cobalt-chromium alloy and titanium alloy. If conditions are good, you can consider high-end zirconium dioxide porcelain crowns.

A full metal crown made of titanium alloy is fine unless you have to be particularly aesthetically pleasing. All-metal crowns made of titanium alloy for back teeth are durable, harmless to the human body and inexpensive. All-metal crowns are not afraid of bumps or porcelain chipping, and they also reduce tooth wear. Cobalt chromium is more expensive than titanium alloy. The quality is about the same.

Dentists recommend all-ceramic teeth and porcelain teeth to patients (when installing back teeth) basically to make money. There is a high probability of porcelain chipping when all-ceramic or porcelain-fused-to-metal inlays are placed on the back teeth, and the warranty does not apply. You can choose all-ceramic porcelain teeth. All-ceramic is relatively better, has better tissue compatibility, and is not easily irritated, causing periodontitis and gingival atrophy.

With the current technical level of denture materials, the posterior crowns can be made of porcelain teeth (with metal inner layer) or zirconium dioxide teeth (metal-free), and a 7-7 long bridge can be made. Zirconium dioxide teeth are recommended because of their good biocompatibility and realistic and accurate crown production, but they are more expensive, not less than 2,500 per piece.

Porcelain crowns are beautiful and suitable for front teeth, while metal crowns are suitable for back teeth, are reasonably priced and durable. Pure titanium is better than titanium alloy. Titanium alloy contains only about 10% titanium metal. Titanium metal is non-toxic to the human body and has good biocompatibility. If you want to make a crown for front teeth, it is best to make all-ceramic or gold porcelain, which is more beautiful than titanium alloy. Don't pay attention to the appearance of the back teeth, just make a pure titanium metal crown
