Abstract: An esthetic preformed crown for children which uses layers of a custom crown material applied as a veneer over non-precious, semiprecious and precious casting metals fabricated for the casting of custom copings and as an alternative to porcelain, vitrioids, copolyester, epoxy, and acrylics. The veneer is comprised of high density polyethylene, which is thermoformed over a screened preformed stainless steel crown to obtain the desired appearance. The crown material is specifically comprised of pigmented high-density polyethylene because of its high elastic limit great flexural strength, ability to withstand great shearing force when mechanically bonded to a preformed crown. The crown of the present invention has natural appearance of a vital tooth. The high density polyethylene veneer in this esthetic preformed crown has a greater bond strength than any current state of the art veneer or other facing material currently used on children's esthetic stainless steel crowns.
