3M Unitek Stainless Steel Primary Molar Crowns Kit

The 3M Unitek Stainless Steel Primary Molar Crowns Kit provides paediatric dentists with a range of pre-formed stainless steel crowns sized for primary, or baby, molar teeth. These crowns are used to restore primary molars that have extensive decay, have undergone pulp therapy, or otherwise cannot be adequately restored with a conventional filling, giving the tooth a durable covering until it is naturally exfoliated.

Stainless steel crowns are a well established option in paediatric dentistry because they are strong enough to withstand the forces of chewing in a young patient while being relatively quick to fit at the chairside compared with a laboratory made restoration. Being supplied as a kit, this product gives the practice a selection of crown sizes on hand, so the dentist can select and trial fit an appropriate crown for the tooth being treated during the same appointment rather than ordering a single size in advance.

Paediatric dental practices and general practices that treat children regularly typically keep a kit like this stocked, since primary molar crowns are a routine part of managing decay and pulp therapy cases in young patients.
