When too much tooth structure is lost and there is not enough natural tooth remaining, a crown can be used to restore function and esthetics. Not only do you need to remove cavities, you need to restore function (chewing) and form. A crown was choosen for durability. In this case there was little remaining tooth structure and the correct form could not be remade with filling material.
