For back teeth (premolars and molars), the crown needs to withstand significant chewing and biting forces. Therefore, strength, fracture resistance, and long-term durability are particularly important.
Depending on the clinical situation, excellent options include:
- Zirconia crowns – strong, metal-free, and aesthetically pleasing.
- Full metal crowns – cheaper option and suitable when aesthetics are less important.
- DMLS PFM crowns – provide a strong metal framework combined with tooth-colored porcelain.
For patients who want a metal-free crown for a back tooth, high-strength zirconia is often an excellent choice.
There is no single "best crown" for every molar. The appropriate choice depends on bite forces, available tooth structure, bruxism or teeth grinding, aesthetic expectations, space available for the crown, and the patient's overall oral condition.
