Berg Stainless Steel Crown

Stainless steel crowns are indicated for primary teeth that have a high risk of decay, multiple cavities, need treatment under general anesthesia, or have a lesion extending beyond the ideal size. The document outlines the steps for proper placement of stainless steel crowns, which include reducing the tooth, creating bevels, selecting the correct crown size, and cementing the crown. Stainless steel crowns are contraindicated for teeth with a low decay risk, isolated small cavities, or those that can be easily isolated for restoration.
