title: Single appointment amalgam crown procedure for posterior teeth.
abstract: When faced with the restoration of severely broken-down posterior teeth, many treatment options exist. Expense, time constraints, and periodontal health, as well as the needs and desires of the patient, all play a role in the selection of treatment modality. In many instances, a well-fabricated amalgam crown can provide a highly acceptable functional restoration in the posterior region. Here, the amalgam crown is discussed in relation to other options and several case reports are presented.
