Should I use gold to crown Premolar#12?!
Question:
Should I use gold to crown Premolar#12?
I'm torn between gold or porcelain fused!
porcelain looks natural like a tooth but has it's disadvantages.
Gold is touted as the best material and more user friendly but is not as cosmeticaly appealing like porcelain. I'm leaning towardss gold but would like some experienced advise!
Answers:
I would go with porcelain fused to metal, since you can see #12 when you smile, speak, etc... If the crown is made correctly and the occlusion is checked/adjusted, you shouldn't have any problems with it fracturing.
