The authors makes no claim for originating the technique of construction and the use of the swaged crown. He was introduced to the swaged crown over a quarter-century ago by the late Dr. Benjamin Weiss, and orthodontist, and his technician, Sanford Pollock. Clinical adaptations of the swaged crown followed. The swaged crown has proved to be a versatile solution to a number of clinical problems occurring in the primary, mixed, and early adult dentitions. It provides simplicity of use, strength, and durability of appliances, and virtual freedom from decalcification and caries for the covered teeth. Chair-time procedures are kept to a minimum, and laboratory costs are reasonable. All appliances require supervision and maintenance by the dentist. When swaged crowns are used, the time and effort involved in such supervision and maintenance are kept at a minimum. This time is considerable less than that required, when even well fitted orthodontic bands are used, instead of swaged crowns.
