If it fits passively...

Selecting the appropriately sized Zirconia Pediatric Crown.
The key to selecting the appropriately sized crown is knowing how much interproximal space you’re working with. If you choose a crowns size that’s too large, you’ll end up having to adjust the adjacent teeth. If you choose a size that’s too small, you’ll end up over reducing the tooth and potentially contacting the pulp. To select a crown, hold the crown up to the existing dentition to gauge the appropriate size. Alternatively, if you have a digital x-ray system, you...
