I've always thought that those were two terms for the same thing.

A crown is a covering of the whole tooth, which is usually ground down and shaped so the crown with a hole on the bottom can be placed on top of a post. A cap is just a covering glued onto the existing tooth that is still in pretty good condition, but chipped or not white enough.

There is no difference between crowns and caps. Just 2 different names for the same thing.

They are the same thing. I am in the process of getting about 8 of them and I asked my dentist and she told me they were one in the same. No matter what you call them.....they are very expensive!
