If a newly seated crown does not feel right per the patient it is critical for the dentist to see the patient immediately. A detailed evaluation of the crown should be made leaving nothing unchecked. Excess cement could cause tissue soreness and pain if the cement was not cleaned off completely upon seating the crown. A radiograph should be taken to ensure the crown is fully seated and has no open margins. The bite should be checked in all excursions to make sure you have no unwanted contacts. Use floss to make sure you have good proximal contacts and make sure the contacts are not too tight or open. The biggest cause for a new crown unseating is poor or inadequate ferrule to support the crown. Poor cementation technique, wet field during cementation, not following the proper steps to cementation, using the wrong cement or using an expired product are all reasons that can cause a crown to unseat.
