Pengertian SSC
S. S. C is a metal crown made by the manufacturer in a variety size and have anatomical
shape according to the original tooth. The material containing 18% chromium and 8%
nickel. The presence of chromium reduces corrosion metal. Since its introduction by
Humphrey (1950) in the field of dentistry children, as well as retainers in some cases, SSC
becomes material restoration options in primary dental care with extensive tooth decay
because it can cover the entire dental crown and reshape the shape anatomy of teeth and
more durable than other restorations.

2. Macam SSC
- Festooned :
with the brand of Ni-Chro primary crown, ion-3M output (USA) is a metal crown that
has been formed accordingly anatomical teeth, either occlusal contour, buccal /
lingual, proximal and cervical edge. Completion of SSC preparation this festooned
type live form / cut out the cervical surface of the crown
- Unfestooned :
with the Sun - Platinum brand, Sankin output, Japan is a crown metal that has been
formed occlusal surface only while the buccal / lingual and cervical parts must be
formed with special pliers. Both forms the crown must be manipulated to remain
marginally good.
3. Indikasi
- Extensive damage on decidui teeth
- Teeth that have impaired growth and development.
- Teeth after root canal treatment.
- As a hold of the space maintainer or prosthesis.ex: m2 shaped conus, young
permanent teeth, bruxism
4. Keuntungan dan kerugian
Keuntungan :
- Work faster, because SSC crown is available according to the size and shape of the
teeth. More durable because it is made of metal SSC can be completed in 1 visit, this
is especially good sangant for children.
Kerugian :
- Aesthetically unfavorable, the color of the SSC crown does not match the original
tooth color. To overcome this then the labial section of the SSC is cut and a window
is created which then the window is filled / patched with the material which is the
same color as the teeth eg self curing acrylic, composite resin. Easy plaque buildup
around the cervical so it can causing gingival inflammation.
5. Considerations for Successful Use of SSC (pertimbangan keberhasilan
penggunaan SSC)
 - Removal of caries and what is needed, appropriate for pulp therapy.
- Reduction of optimal dental structure for crown retention that is adequate.
- Lack of neighbor tooth decay after opening contact interproximal.
- Selection of the exact crown size to determine the lengtharch.
- Accurate marginal adaptation and gingival health.
- Good occlusal function.
- Optimal cementing procedure.
6. Some Factors That Could Cause SSC Failure (factor yang dapat menyebabkan
kegagalan SSC)
- Tooth preparation is not good.
- The crown adaptation is not good and then accompanied by poor retention.
- An inappropriate cementation method with a loose crown or open margin.
- Pulp treatment failure.
