The 3M ESPE Stainless Steel Crowns for Primary Molars, available in the Intro Kit ND96, represent a pinnacle of dental innovation and reliability.
Each crown within the kit is designed to provide long-term restoration for primary molars, ensuring lasting durability and functionality. The stainless steel used in their construction is of the highest quality, sourced and manufactured in the United States, guaranteeing outstanding physical properties. Dentists can confidently rely on the proven performance, fit, and esthetics of these crowns, as they are backed by extensive clinical histories.
What sets 3M ESPE Stainless Steel Crowns apart is their remarkable ease of customization. With life-like height, contour, and pre-crimped cervical margins, these crowns are ready for fast and hassle-free placement. The shallow occlusal anatomy minimizes the need for excessive tooth reduction, preserving the integrity of the patient's natural teeth.
Furthermore, the thick occlusal surface ensures bite-through prevention, enhancing patient comfort and safety. The parallel walls of these crowns enable precise operator fit control, simplifying the placement process. They come pre-trimmed to the optimum length and contour, saving valuable time for dental professionals.
These crowns exhibit excellent strength and wear resistance, making them a reliable choice for both short- and long-term coverage of primary molars. With a wide array of shapes and sizes, dentists have the flexibility to choose the perfect fit for each patient's unique needs.

Direction To Use:
-
Patient Evaluation: Begin by evaluating the patient's dental condition to determine the need for crown restoration on a primary molar. Ensure that the tooth is prepared for crown placement.
-
Crown Selection: Choose the appropriate crown size and shape from the kit based on the patient's tooth morphology and needs. Ensure that the selected crown matches the tooth's occlusal surface and contour.
-
Preparation: Prepare the tooth by removing any decayed or damaged areas and shaping it to accommodate the crown. Make sure the tooth is clean and dry.
-
Crown Adjustment: Check the fit of the selected crown on the prepared tooth. It should cover the tooth completely without any gaps. If necessary, make any adjustments to the crown's size or shape using dental instruments.
-
Cementation: Apply a dental cement (appropriate for stainless steel crowns) inside the crown and then carefully place it on the prepared tooth. Ensure that the crown is seated properly and fits snugly over the tooth.
-
Excess Cement Removal: Remove any excess cement around the crown margins to ensure a clean and proper fit. Pay attention to the cervical margin to avoid any irritation to the gingival tissue.
-
Bite Adjustment: Check the patient's bite to ensure that it aligns correctly with the new crown. Make any necessary adjustments to the occlusal surface of the crown to prevent bite interference.
-
Final Evaluation: Examine the crown's fit, contour, and occlusion once again to ensure it meets the desired specifications and does not interfere with the patient's bite.
-
Patient Instructions: Provide the patient with post-operative care instructions, including advice on oral hygiene and any dietary restrictions if necessary.
-
Follow-Up: Schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor the crown's performance and ensure there are no issues with irritation, discomfort, or bite problems.
