ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the method and apparatus for forming a dental crown on a prepared tooth. A dental appliance is provided in which a resinous jacket is provided, and is capable of serving both as a crown and a crown form, the jacket having relatively thinner, straight, side walls. When used as a crown, the inner surface of the jacket is coated with a bonding agent, and the jacket is then filled with a composite restorative material, after which, the jacket is fitted over the prepared tooth to be restored, to give a resultant highly effective crown, either by leaving the jacket in place, or by removing it, in which case the composite restorative material serves as the crown, standing alone.
