What are performed external surface forms in dentistry?

Commercial prefabricated crowns are designed as standard solutions to restore damaged teeth. They are manufactured in specific shapes and sizes to accommodate a wide variety of dental anatomies. This approach allows for quick, convenient, and cost-effective restorations, particularly useful in situations where immediate treatment is necessary or when a personalized restoration is not required.

These crowns can be made from different materials, such as metal or resin, and are intended to be placed directly over a tooth without requiring the same level of customization that other types of restorations require. They serve as an accessible option for both dentists and patients seeking effective dental treatment.

The other options, while relevant in various contexts, relate more to processes of creating specific restorations tailored to individual patient needs, such as custom-fabricated restorations or reproducing the condition of the teeth before or after preparation.
