Total crown replacement technique: A biological treatment option for grossly destructed primary molars
Nikhil Srivastava, Vivek Rana, Pratik Pande, Preeti SinghJournal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry 2021 39(3):325-328 Background: Restoration of severely damaged primary molars with very short clinical crowns is a big challenge and often extracted due to the lack of restorative options. Total crown replacement (TCR) is a novel treatment alternative for the restoration of such teeth through bonding of the biological restorations which are the sterile decoronated crowns of the extracted human teeth, obtained from a tooth bank. Case Report: Presented here is a report of two cases restored with the TCR...
