3M Polycarbonate Crowns
Polycarbonate temporary crowns for upper and upper/lower arches, designed for easy trimming and flexible adjustment while protecting tooth vitality and gum health.
3M Polycarbonate Crowns are prefabricated temporary crowns made from polycarbonate resin, used by dentists to protect a prepared tooth while a permanent crown or bridge is being made. Covering upper and upper and lower arch positions, the crowns are optimized for easy trimming and flexible adjustment, so a clinician can shape each one to the individual preparation without excessive chairside effort.
Beyond providing acceptable esthetics for the patient during the interim period, the crowns are designed to protect the vitality and pulp of the tooth, help maintain gingival health around the margins, and shield the preparation from contamination between visits. The very large number of catalogue numbers associated with this product reflects the range of tooth positions and sizes available, letting the dentist choose a form that closely matches the prepared tooth and needs minimal adjustment.
These crowns are a routine stock item in general dental practices that place anterior temporary crowns regularly.
