Loose Dental Crowns
When the dentist is faced with a mobile dental crown, a complete examination of the restoration and the abutment tooth should be undertaken. Loose dental crowns could be caused by:
1. Crown decementation, due to:
- non-retentive tooth preparation.
- caries.
- dissolved cement.
- excessive occlusal forces.
2. Crown fracture, which could be due to:
- insufficient ceramic thickness.
- too much occlusal forces.
3. Abutment fracture due to:
- caries.
- excessive occlusal forces.
4. Fracture / loosening of a post or an abutment screw in case of a dental implant, due to:
- dissolved cement.
- caries.
- weak post.
