Q: Is there a definitive way to determine if crown fits properly?
A:
Checking with an explorer all around the crown is the best way to catch an opening between the margin of the crown and your own tooth. But you can always use x-ray as a help to determine if there is any gap.Tthe odor might be coming from uncleaned cement left after the veneers or crowns were cemented. Ask your doctor to use loops and interproximal saw and polisher and remove all the extra cement.left interproximally I am sure that's what is causing the odor.
