Polarised LM of a tooth with a dental crown
Dental crown. Polarised light micrograph (PLM) of a longitudinal section through a tooth (yellow & blue) with a dental crown (grainy area). The ceramic crown is attached to the tooth by a layer of cement (dark brown). If the top of a tooth is badly cracked, decayed or broken, it must be replaced by an artificial crown. The remaining undamaged part of the tooth is cut down to a peg to receive the hollow crown. This crown is then shaped to form a replica of the original tooth and cemented in place.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a polarised light micrograph (PLM) of a tooth with a dental crown. The intricate details are brought to life through the vibrant colors, with the tooth appearing in shades of yellow and blue, while the dental crown is depicted as a grainy area. A layer of dark brown cement can be seen attaching the ceramic crown to the tooth. The image highlights the importance of dental crowns in restorative dentistry. When a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, an artificial crown becomes necessary for its replacement. In such cases, only the undamaged portion of the original tooth remains intact and is shaped into a peg-like structure to receive the hollow ceramic crown. Dentists meticulously craft these crowns to replicate the appearance and functionality of natural teeth before securely cementing them in place. This process ensures that patients regain their smile's aesthetics while also restoring proper oral health. With magnification at x20 and presented at 6.5x5cm size, this PLM photograph offers viewers an up-close look at this essential procedure within dentistry. It serves as a reminder of how advancements in medical technology continue to enhance our ability to provide effective healthcare solutions for various disorders affecting oral health.
