Given how they work, dental crowns can sound rather simple at times. It\u2019d be easy for someone to think these \u201ccaps\u201d have never changed over the years. However, the truth is that crown treatment<\/a> has evolved from its ancient beginnings to its present-day form. This procedure is much more precise and effective now than in the early days. If you want the details, read on to learn the history of dental crowns and how they\u2019ve developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A Start in the Ancient World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As it turns out, dentistry got its start in the ancient world. Dental crowns were among the field\u2019s first creations and were highly valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, the Etruscans developed dental crowns in the mid-2nd century. The American Dental Association finds that these early Italians made gold prosthetics from 166 to 201 AD. Still, \u201cdentists\u201d didn\u2019t use such crowns to repair broken or decayed teeth. Goldsmiths would remove a wealthy woman\u2019s healthy tooth and switch it out with gold banding. To that extent, ancient crowns served as status symbols instead of oral protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes in the Middle Ages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, people began to care more about hygiene during the Middle Ages. This shift led to some changes in dental crown treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe in the 1500s saw many advances in dental crown work. For example, the first book just about dentistry was written in 1530 and covered how to properly place fillings and crowns. Ambrose Pare later outlined technical details on dental crowns in his \u201cComplete Works\u201d published in 1575. For this latter book, the future \u201cfather of surgery\u201d discussed jaw fractures and treatments for tooth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Crowns & Rising Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, progress with dental crowns didn\u2019t stop in the medieval era. Some of crown treatment\u2019s most relevant breakthroughs came in the 19th and 20th centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few key examples prove that industry greatly helped crowns advance. Firstly, Dr. Charles H. Land patented the porcelain \u201cjacket\u201d crown in the late 1800s. This treatment was enough to make a broken tooth appear visibly whole and unharmed. By the 20th century, jacket crowns were then surpassed by porcelain-fused-to-metal ones. These latter kinds have porcelain\u2019s natural beauty and a metallic base\u2019s durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Present-Day Dental Crowns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s dental crowns have further built on the insights of earlier years. As a result, they\u2019re both readily available and work very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New technology is the biggest reason for these latest crown developments. For example, tools now let dentists make crowns from pure porcelain or zirconia. The rise of CAD\/CAM has also led to CEREC\u00ae same-day crowns, which can be made and placed in one dental visit. These kinds take much less time than traditional crowns and fit treated teeth precisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearly, the history of dental crowns is an ever-changing one. Talk to your dentist to ensure you\u2019re keeping up with how these caps change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
