3M Gold Anodized Temporary Crowns
Durable medium-hard aluminum temporary crowns for short-term adult posterior use, gold anodized to eliminate metallic taste and galvanic shock for patient comfort.
3M Gold Anodized Temporary Crowns are prefabricated temporary crowns made from a medium-hard aluminum alloy, designed for short-term use on adult posterior teeth while a permanent restoration is being fabricated. The aluminum construction gives the crown durability and functional strength during the interim period, an important quality on posterior teeth that bear significant biting force.
Gold anodization is applied to the surface of the crown to eliminate the metallic taste and galvanic shock that untreated metal crowns can sometimes cause when they contact other metal restorations or fillings in the mouth, which improves overall patient comfort while the temporary is in place. The crowns are available across upper, lower and upper and lower arch positions and a wide range of catalogue numbers, letting the clinician choose a close fitting size for the prepared tooth.
These crowns suit general dentists placing posterior interim restorations for adult patients ahead of a permanent crown or bridge.
