A landmark dental procedure took place at the Lake Superior Zoo in Duluth, Minnesota on Monday, June 23. One of their two Alaskan coastal brown bears named Tundra received the first full-metal crown for a bear. It was also the largest full-metal crown ever created. “I do a lot of crown work. So, this is something we prepare for pretty much every week and every day when we’re seeing regular cases. The biggest difference is the size, the amount of material that went into manufacturing something this large and just the manufacturing and the materials needed to cement the crown,” said Dr. Grace Brown, a Board-Certified Veterinary Dentist with MNVDS. The crown was made out of talladium, a high-quality dental alloy, by Scott Alexander of Creature Crowns. “Titanium and chromium cobalt were not an option because his tooth is so big. So, this actually had to be waxed and cast like back in the old days and be made in his (Scott Alexander’s) personal lab versus in a manufacturing machine, which is pretty cool,” said Dr. Brown. Tundra’s dental history stretches back two years to when he had his first root canal surgery after fracturing his tooth. The repair from that initial procedure wore off, so the Lake Superior Zoo team had to come up with a more sustainable option. For Lake Superior Zoo, taking a chance on a procedure that has never been done was a gamble worth taking if it meant Tundra could stay happy and healthy for years to come. “It’s been a whirlwind of emotions of wondering, ‘Is this the right option? Is this the one that we should go with? No one’s done this before. We don’t have anyone to tell us that this is the best way to go.’ So really, we talked together as a team and having that team cohesion and that team agreement that this is the best option for him really helped in coming up with our exact plan and making sure that it came to fruition and also came to fruition successfully,” said Lizzy Larson, Director of Animal Management and Facilities for the Lake Superior Zoo. The success of this procedure means other bears could receive talladium crowns in the future. “We decided to go ahead and be those pioneers, be those people who try something different and something new. And really the one who’s going to benefit from this is Tundra. And ultimately, we’re all going to benefit from being able to see that this can be done and that this could be an option for other bears in the future at other facilities or other around the world,” said Larson. Tundra is expected to recover quickly and will be back in the exhibit with his brother Banks in a matter of days.
