	Diamond Dentistry - Crown & Bridge (Prosthodontics) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		A crown is a restoration that covers, or "caps," a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, strengthening and improving the appearance of a tooth.
		Crowns are also used to support a large filling when there isn't enough of the tooth remaining, attach a bridge, protect weak teeth from fracturing, restore fractured teeth,cover badly shaped or discolored teeth or protect a root-canal filled tooth with compromised strength.
		Crowns on the bridge cover most of the exposed portion of your tooth and decay does not affect a bridge since it is made of metal and /or porcelain.

	Captek Crown
		There are several types of crowns commonly used in dentistry, and include the all porcelain, porcelain covering precious metal, the all gold, and the newer porcelain covering yellow gold, the Captek crown.
		The all porcelain crown typically has the most natural look, but is not nearly as durable as the other types of crowns, and can be more expensive.
		All gold crowns are strong, adapt tightly to the tooth, are very well tolerated by the gums and other soft tissues in the mouth, and do not tend to wear the tooth they bite against to any noticeable degree.

	Edmonton Dental Crowns and Bridges - Alberta
		Crown and bridgework, also described as restorative dentistry, involves the restoration of natural teeth that have been damaged, decayed or lost.
		Crown technology has improved over the years, and older, less lifelike crowns can be replaced with new ones.
		We may recommend a crown if your tooth has enough decay that it cannot hold a filling, or if your tooth is cracked or broken and in danger of cracking down into the root if left unattended.

	Consort crown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A consort crown is a crown worn by the Queen Consort of a kingdom for her coronation or on state occasions.
		Unlike with reigning monarchs, who may inherit one or more crowns for use, consorts sometimes had special crowns made uniquely for them and which were worn by no other later consort.
		Previous English and British Queens Consort had used the consort crown of Mary of Modena, wife of King James II of England, until Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, the consort of King William IV, who had a special new consort crown created for her.

	What are dental crowns ("tooth caps")? Why do teeth need dental crowns?
		Dental crowns, also referred to as "dental caps" or "tooth caps," are dental restorations that cover over and encase the tooth on which they are cemented.
		Crowns are a type of dental restoration which, when cemented into place, fully cup over the portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.
		Dental crowns are best utilized as a way to improve the cosmetic appearance of a tooth when the crown simultaneously serves other purposes also, such as restoring a tooth to its original shape (repairing a broken tooth) or strengthening a tooth (covering over a tooth that has a very large filling).

		The five types of crowns, three of each type, and the titanium implants were subjected to loading in Lloyd test equipment until part of them was damaged, at which point the compression value was recorded and the deflection and bending moment were calculated.
		The foil crown was also judged to be acceptable, while the bending moment of the cast all-ceramic crown without a core was considered unpredictable.
		Conclusions: It was concluded that all-ceramic crowns are weak er than conventional metal ceramic crowns; however, based on estimated maximum clinical loadign (370 N in the incisor and premolar regions), In-Ceram and AllCeram crowns seem to function satisfactorily on implants.
