  crown. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
The crown as used in medieval and modern times is an elaboration of the diadem and is generally made of metal, often gold inlaid with precious gems.
The crown became thoroughly identified with the functions of monarchy, and the term crown is often used in a purely institutional sense, as in crown lands, crown colonies, and crown debt.
Among famous crowns of historic interest are the Lombard iron crown, kept at Monza, Italy; the crown of Charlemagne, at Vienna, Austria; and the sacred crown of St. Stephen of Hungary.

A natural crown is that portion of the tooth composed of enamel.
Although this process is laborious and time consuming, it is necessary because a synthetic crown must duplicate the anatomy and function of the natural crown and fit so accurately that no leak can occur between the oral fluids and that part of the tooth which the synthetic crown covers.
Because crowns fit so accurately, they are readily held in place by a thin layer of cement (dental glue) spread between the synthetic crown and the tooth.

 Method and apparatus for dental crown removal - Patent 4402671
When removal of the crown is required, the closure screw is removed and replaced with a jack screw long enough to extend through the threaded hole within the sleeve so that it breaks the bond between the crown and the tooth as the jack screw is continuously threaded into the sleeve.
With the sleeve cast within the crown and extending through the occlusal surface, it is not possible to reduce the occlusal height of the tooth since this would then destroy the ability of the sleeve to receive the closure screw therein.
Even when the crown has been initially cast and installed without the key, it is still possible to remove the crown by forming a pilot hole drilled into the crown followed by the drilling of a larger hole to form a channel.
