caps
cápsulas


Explanation:
Me falta contexto. Pero si tu texto se refiere a amalgamas, éstas son mezcladas en un amalgamador donde se coloca la cápsula.

Si no, se referirá a la versión que te han dado de "funda", también llamada "corona".

Una definición en inglés del Dorlands' Dictionary:

artificial crown, a restoration made of metal alone, metal with a veneer of porcelain or resin, or porcelain or resin alone that reproduces the entire surface anatomy of the clinical crown of a tooth; it may be attached to a prepared tooth stump, to one partially rebuilt by a cast metal core alone, or to a cast core and a post, or it may be cemented to the remaining tooth structure. Colloquially called cap.
