They are the same. Technically, it's a crown. They are both a whole tooth covering.

Cap is a layman term for a crown. Most people do consider caps as the silver ones that are placed on children though. Crowns are said to be the natural looking ones. They are both technically crowns though.

well they are the same cap was a term used about 10 or 20 yrs ago. It is a crown at any rate... it covers the tooth completely. An on-lay is only the top part of the tooth and possibly front and or back side of the tooth (this is the missal to the middle of the mouth and distal to the back of the mouth)
