When strength and durability are the primary concerns in restorative dentistry, Full Metal Crowns have long been the material of choice. Known for their exceptional longevity, precise fit, and minimal wear on opposing dentition, full metal crowns continue to provide reliable solutions, especially in posterior regions where esthetics may be secondary to function.

What are full metal crowns?

Full metal crowns are single-unit restorations made entirely of metal. They are typically crafted from gold alloys, Noble alloys, high-noble alloys, or base metal alloys, depending on patient preference and clinical requirements.

Full metal crowns offer superior mechanical strength and exhibit outstanding wear resistance, making them ideal for molars and areas exposed to heavy occlusal forces. Their biocompatibility, excellent marginal integrity, and minimal tooth structure removal during preparation have made them a reliable solution for decades.

Key features of porcelain full metal crowns

Superior strength & longevity – Designed to withstand high occlusal forces, full metal crowns offer unmatched durability.
Minimal tooth reduction – Requires less tooth structure removal compared to porcelain-fused restorations.
Excellent marginal fit – Precision-milled to ensure tight margins, reducing the risk of microleakage and recurrent decay.
Biocompatibility – High-quality noble and high-noble alloys minimize the risk of allergic reactions and promote gingival health.
No risk of chipping – Unlike porcelain restorations, full-metal crowns have no veneering material, eliminating the risk of chipping.
Wear-friendly to opposing dentition – Especially true for gold-based alloys, which exhibit similar wear rates to natural enamel.

Indications for Use

Full metal crowns are recommended for:

Posterior restorations – Molars and premolars subjected to heavy occlusal forces.
Patients with parafunctional habits – Ideal for bruxers or clenchers due to their superior fracture resistance.
Minimal esthetic requirements – Suitable for areas not visible in the smile line.
Limited interocclusal space – Requires less reduction, making it ideal when space is restricted.
Long-span bridges or splinted crowns – Provide strength for multi-unit restorations.

Preparation Guidelines

To ensure optimal fit and function of full metal crowns, follow these preparation recommendations:

Axial reduction – Minimum of 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm, depending on the alloy used.
Occlusal clearance – 1.0 mm clearance is generally sufficient to allow material thickness.
Chamfer or feather-edge margin – Chamfer preferred for strength and ease of seating, but feather-edge can be used where minimal reduction is critical.
Smooth transitions – Avoid sharp internal angles to reduce stress concentrations.
Tissue management – Capture clear margins using retraction techniques for accuracy.

Cementation Guidelines

Full metal crowns offer flexibility in cementation protocols:

Try-in & fit check: Confirm proper seating, margins, and proximal contacts.
Cement selection: Traditional glass ionomer cement is often used. Resin-modified glass ionomer or adhesive resin cement can be used when additional retention is needed.
Excess cement removal: Clean thoroughly to prevent gingival irritation.
Occlusal verification: Ensure even contacts and adjust if necessary.

Chairside Adjustments

Full metal crowns typically require minimal adjustments, but fine-tuning may be needed:

Occlusal refinements: Use fine carbide burs to make minor occlusal adjustments.
Contact adjustments: Modify interproximal contacts for optimal seating.
Polishing: After adjustments, polish the surface with dedicated metal polishing compounds to restore smoothness and luster.
Tissue fit verification: Confirm proper adaptation at the cervical margin to support soft tissue health.

We offer Noble alloys, high-noble alloys (gold-based), and base metal alloys, providing flexibility based on clinical and patient preferences.

Are full metal crowns safe for patients with metal allergies?

Our high-noble and Noble alloys have excellent biocompatibility and a reduced risk of allergic reactions. Specific alloy selection can be tailored based on patient sensitivity.

Can full metal crowns be used in the anterior region?

While technically possible, full-metal crowns are typically reserved for posterior regions, where esthetics are less of a concern.
