If this work is needed to correct the appearance, strength, size or shape of the tooth, he or she may recommend a crown be used.

Individuals with PLS are commonly afflicted with periodontal disease that affects both deciduous and succedaneous teeth, eventually leading to edentulism (Sulak, et al., 2014).
