Comparing methods to move gums for a front crown
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares three ways to temporarily push the gums away from a tooth so a dentist can take an accurate mold for a single front crown. It is for people with healthy gums and a crown margin that sits slightly below the gumline.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a single crown on a front upper tooth.
- Your gums must be healthy (no gum disease).
- The edge of the crown (margin) must be below the gumline on the front side of the tooth.
- You should not need any other crowns or restorations in that area.
