While eating granola my 1.5 year old crown broke. Doc put temp crown on 2 weeks ago and it fell off Wed the following week. They placed another temp crown and that too has fallen off. The tooth has already had root canal so no pain.
Answer: Temporary crown falling off If you had your temporary crown falling off twice, ask your dentist if there is retention problem to be checked? Although the permanent crown is better fit and in some cases can be bonded, it is alarming of why the temporary keeps falling off? retention problem, bite, and many other factors must be checked.

Answer: Crown Temporary crowns are made to easily come off. That way it doesn't have to be cut off in the office. I would expect the permanent crown to be much better than the temporary.

Answer: Permanent crown Hi:Temporary crowns are made of acrylic and are cemented with temporary cement. However the permenant crowns are much better fitted and cemented with much stronger cement. You should not experience the same problem once the permanent crown is cemented.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Answer: Permanent stronger Yes in theory, the permanent crown should be cemented on better than the temporary, but it depends on the clinician. The fit and adhesion rely on a few other factors: how much tooth height and surface area is remaining above the gum, mechanical retention which is determined by the preparation design - it's good to have some level of resistance when the permanent is pulled or tugged away. Will the permanent crown be emax, zirconia, porcelain fused to metal, or gold? Full bonding with resin cement is a great technique to cement, it relies less on surface area and mechanical retention but this is most successful with emax. The rest of the materials generally require the use of a traditional luting cement that will rely more on mechanical retention. The chemistry and level of the adhesion is also not as strong as bonding with resin. Either way, I would suggest 2 common denominators for your dentist to utilize with their technique: Direct and indirect air abrasion of the tooth and inside of the crown with Aluminum Oxide (this is not however recommended by the emax manufacturer), and cleaning the inside of the restoration with a product called Ivoclean and a proper "primer". A skilled and knowledgeable dentist will know what these are.

Answer: Permanent crown The cement used for a temporary crown is not the same as for a permanent crown. You shouldn't have a problem with the permanent crown.
