Evaluation of the clinical performance and effectiveness of adhesively-bonded metal crowns on damaged canine teeth of working dogs over a two- to 52-month period.

In this clinical study, 41 metal full crown restorations of canine teeth were placed in 18 working dogs. Twenty-six canine teeth had severe attrition with no involvement of the pulp cavities; 15 fractured canine teeth were endodontically treated. With the exception of one tooth, at least one-third of the coronal part of each canine tooth was available for a supragingivally performed, minimal tooth crown preparation. A dental resin luting cement technique was used to bond the electrolytically etched crown (made from an alloy of cobalt-chrome-molybdenum) to the tooth. The metal crowns were slightly shorter and with a more rounded tip than the original tooth. Posts or post-and-core techniques were not used. Median follow-up period was 30 months (range 2 to 61 months), at which time 36 crowns were found to be intact and functional. Five crowns were lost; three as a result of subsequent injury and fracture of the tooth below the crown; one as a result of use of less than one-third of the coronal portion of the tooth for retention of the crown; and one as a result of an oblique fracture of the root.[1]
