Incorrect porcelain crowns lead to periodontitis?

Porcelain crowns are an advanced method in the field of dental restoration, which is performed by attaching a porcelain crown to the surface of a natural tooth. In this process, doctors will grind away a part of the original tooth surface, then use a special dental adhesive to firmly attach the porcelain crown to the ground tooth. Thanks to this process, the porcelain crown is firmly attached to the tooth, providing high aesthetics and good tooth function.

Many studies have shown that porcelain crowns not only help improve aesthetics but also play an important role in protecting natural teeth. Thereby preventing dangerous pathological conditions that may arise. By applying porcelain crowns, people can be confident in communicating and performing daily activities with perfect teeth, reaching a score of 10. However, many cases of incorrect porcelain crowns lead to periodontitis. Let’s find out the causes.

Porcelain crowns are a sophisticated technique that requires highly skilled doctors to perform at reputable dental facilities. Poor performance or outdated supporting equipment can result in the crown not being able to adhere tightly to the tooth stump, creating gaps where food and plaque can easily accumulate. These gaps provide a favorable environment for harmful bacteria to attack, causing periodontitis and unpleasant odors in the mouth.
