What is a cylindrical crown?

A cylindrical crown is a type of dental restoration that is shaped like a cylinder and is typically used to cover a tooth that has been significantly damaged or decayed. It provides structural support, protects the remaining tooth structure, and can improve the tooth's appearance. These crowns can be made from various materials, including metal, porcelain, or a combination of both, and are designed to fit snugly over the prepared tooth. They are commonly used in cases where a tooth has undergone root canal therapy or has suffered significant wear.
