Crown Selection:

Cementation:

• Cement Selection: Choose a suitable dental cement for permanent placement.

• Excess Cement Removal: Remove any excess cement from around the crown margins using a dental explorer.

Final Adjustments:

• Check Occlusion: Verify that the crown does not interfere with the patient's bite. Adjust the occlusion if necessary.
• Finishing: Smooth any rough edges using finishing burs.
