Broken Cerec crown

[Dan1]

Hello

I had a cerec crown fitted about six months ago and was told that the crown will last around 10 years. To my surprise tonight whilst I was chewing on a bread roll, the cerec crown fractured in half and I almost swallowed the broken bit. Now the tooth feels very sensitive to air and water. I am worried that it might get worst by monday. Is there anyway that the crown can be repaired for now before I see my dentist on monday? Are there any other types of crowns that last longer than cerec crowns?

The cerec crown can be repaired with a temporary dressing with a temporary dressing as a temporary measured. However as a long term solution, a broken cerec crown will have to be usually remade and cant be repaired.

There are many stronger crowns than cerec crowns such as full gold crowns, Zirconium based crowns,...
