edelweiss PEDIATRIC CROWNs are made of a laser sintered barium glass, which makes them both highly antibacterial and plaque resistant. These crowns are biocompatible; they have the same abrasion as natural teeth, hence the edelweiss PEDIATRIC CROWN does not damage the antagonist tooth. The mesial and distal margins of the edelweiss PEDIATRIC CROWN follow the natural gingival line of the milk teeth.
The edelweiss PEDIATRIC CROWN perfectly imitates the natural milk tooth in both form and function. The pre-fabricated, bio esthetical morphology allows for a quick and safe treatment. You can achieve maximum esthetical results, which are minimally invasive, in one appointment. No matter what the dental situation, edelweiss has the right crown for it.

Sizes
ONE SIZE FOR ALL
Based on a study of all shapes and size variations of natural tooth anatomy, prefabricated and contourable universal PEDIATRIC CROWN shapes for the upper and lower arch were developed in the following range of sizes (Small, Medium, Large).
THE CHOICE
The choice of the tooth shape is performed with the available Sizing Guide (edelweiss PEDIATRIC CROWN Sizing Guide).
The Sizing Guide is positioned over the teeth to be restored, in which the visible profile allows for proper selection of the best fitting edelweiss PEDIATRIC CROWN. Adjustments can be illustrated directly on the template.

Shade Range
Edelweiss Shade Guide
edelweiss PEDIATRIC CROWNs consist of the shade Enamel – Vita Enamel AO. The respective dentin and enamel shades used to cement the edelweiss PEDIATRIC CROWN will determine the final shade tone of the restoration.
EDELWEISS SHADE SELECTION
Placing the enamel VENEER (same shade as PEDIATRIC CROWN) shell over the dentin core. For light refraction place glycerine within enamel shell first.

Step By Step
Preparation of PEDIATRIC CROWN
edelweiss PEDIATRIC CROWN for any clinical situation
For increasing the approximal area, roughen the surface of the PEDIATRIC CROWN with a diamond bur
Cleaning the smear- layer with 37% phosphoric acid, rinse off and dry.
Bonding with edelweiss Direct Veneer Bond. This bond is compatible for all edelweiss products
Light-curing of the Direct Veneer Bond for 20 sec. (VALO lamp)
Building up the approximal area with edelweiss direct composite. This is the same composite used for cementing the PEDIATRIC CROWNS intraorally
Light-curing of the composite build-up for 30 sec.
Polishing with special polishers, begin with green, after this use grey for high gloss
Clinical Case
Retraction cord following previous caries removal
Enamel etching 30 sec., dentin 7 sec. Rinse thoroughly.
Bonding the inside of the PEDIATRIC CROWN with VENEER BOND, light cure for 20 sec.
edelweiss COMPOSITE placed on the inside of edelweiss PEDIATRIC CROWN
Application of edelweiss PEDIATRIC CROWN
Position of edelweiss PEDIATRIC CROWN, excess composite removed
30 sec. light-curing
