What are Strip Crowns?


Strip crowns for kids are prefabricated dental crowns made specifically for restoring primary (baby) teeth that are badly decayed or damaged.

The purpose of strip crowns for kids is to provide a temporary restoration for baby teeth until they are naturally replaced by permanent teeth. Strip crowns are preformed into the shape of a tooth crown and are made from a thin, flexible metal material such as transparent poly material, stainless steel or nickel-chromium alloy.

Strip crowns for kids are typically used in cases where a baby tooth has significant decay, is broken or fractured, or has undergone a pulpotomy or pulpectomy procedure. They are placed over the remaining portion of the tooth, restoring its shape, size, and function. Strip crowns for kids can help to prevent further decay or damage to the affected tooth and can also help to maintain space for the permanent teeth that will eventually replace the baby teeth.

After a pulpotomy or pulpectomy

Cosmetic concerns

In some cases, strip crowns may be recommended for cosmetic reasons if a baby tooth is severely discoloured or misshapen.

Procedure for Strip Crown


The procedure for placing a strip crown on a baby tooth typically involves the following steps:

  • Numbing the tooth: The paediatric dentist will first apply a local anaesthetic to numb the area around the affected tooth.
  • Removing decay or damage: If the tooth has decay or damage, the dentist will remove any affected tissue and shape the remaining tooth structure to prepare it for the strip crown.
  • Selecting the appropriate size and shape: The dentist will select the appropriate size and shape of strip crown for the affected tooth.
  • Fitting the strip crown: The strip crown is then carefully fitted over the prepared tooth structure, with the metal material covering the entire tooth surface.
  • Adjusting the fit: The dentist will check the fit of the strip crown and make any necessary adjustments to ensure it fits comfortably and securely.
  • Bonding the strip crown: Once the strip crown is properly positioned, the dentist will use dental cement to bond it to the tooth.
  • Polishing the crown : The dentist will polish the strip crown to ensure it looks natural and blends in with the surrounding teeth.
