Dental crown materials and gum health
Treatments studied

This study looks at how different materials used for dental crowns affect the bacteria (germs) that build up on your gums. If you are getting your first crown, it may help find which material is most friendly to your gums.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
