Stainless+Steel+Crown+(SSC)

=Anterior SSC=
 * == Reduction ==
 * Incisal = 1.0 - 1.5 mm
 * Mesial / Distal = 0.5 – 1.0 mm
 * Facial = 1.0 mm
 * lingual = 0.5 mm


 * **If Placing a Resin Window:** The GI cement is removed from the exposed area to a depth of at least 1 mm to enable adequate space for placement of the composite resin facing.

=Posterior SSC=
 * == Indications ==
 * Involving three or more surfaces
 * Extension beyond anatomic line angles or pulpal proximity
 * Primary first molars with mesial proximal involvement
 * Pulpotomy treatment
 * Enamel hypoplasia
 * Trauma.
 * == Crown selection ==
 * Dimensions considered: Mesial-Distal, Circumference
 * #4 SSC is most common size in posterior teeth
 * == Reduction ==
 * Occlusal 1.0-1.5mm
 * Oclussal-Facial and OL beveled 35-45 degrees
 * Interproximal .5-1mm straight slice
 * Semi-circular
 * [[image:Untitled.jpg]]
 * Round all line angles
 * Remove caries AFTER Occlusal and proximal reduction
 * BW radiograph to ensure correct margin
 * Contouring is necessary if margin is open or if gingival tissue blanches
 * Adjacent crown preps
 * 1.5mm total interproximal space
