PFM Crown (Porcelain Fused to Metal):
Published
PFM caps are commonly used in a dental clinic after RCT (root canal treatment). They have a metal base with a tooth-colored porcelain layer on top. They are strong and affordable but may show a dark line near the gums over time if hygiene is not maintained properly. Dentists often recommend them for back teeth due to their durability.
Zirconia Crown: Zirconia caps are modern, metal-free crowns used after RCT in a dental clinic. They are highly aesthetic, strong, and look like natural teeth. Dentists prefer zirconia for better appearance and long-term hygiene as they do not cause gum discoloration. They are slightly costlier but provide superior strength and a natural smile.
