A crown is a part of the headwear that fits over the top of the wearer's head and provides its distinctive shape. The crown can be rounded, flat, or sloping, and it is often decorated with ribbons, bands, or other embellishments. The height of the crown can also vary depending on the style of the hat, such as a top hat with a tall, cylindrical crown or a baseball cap with a low, rounded crown.

What is a "crown"?

A crown refers to a dental restoration that covers the visible portion of a damaged or decayed tooth. It is custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of the natural tooth and is placed over the prepared tooth to restore its functionality and appearance. Crowns are typically made from materials such as porcelain, metal alloys, or a combination of both. They protect the underlying tooth structure, enhance its strength, and can improve its alignment and aesthetics. Crowns are commonly used for teeth with extensive decay, fractures, root canal-treated teeth, or to anchor dental bridges or dental implants.
