What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Tooth decay is a widely experienced condition associated with the oral health of children, particularly in posterior teeth. This is attributed to their intricate texture which is commonly encountered during the oral hygiene measures . Caring for posterior teeth affected by tooth decay in children is vital to ensure stability in tooth occlusion, minimizing pain, preventing infections, and facilitating mastication and communication. However, the success of tooth restorations is questionable, particularly due to secondary decay, fracture, loss of retention, and marginal problems. Stainless steel crowns are deemed one of the most durable and reliable treatment options in pediatric dentistry, especially for multi-surface lesions or structurally damaged molars. In a conventional approach to placing SSCs, caries needs to be removed, teeth prepared, and in most cases, local anesthesia is admini

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: * Only patients aged between 5-8 years old will be included in the study. The following criteria is used to determine eligibility to be part of the study: Only participants with one or two asymptomatic, vital primary molars following completion of treatment, will be able to participate in the clinical study .The posterior teeth may have multi-surface caries within the proximal and occlusal surfaces of the teeth, either one or both surfaces have been involved with caries and results in complete coronal coverage of the tooth. The posterior teeth included must show evidence of caries on x-rays (ICDAS 0-3), but with no evidence of pulp involvement/radicular pathology. All included teeth must be able to be restored and possess sufficient structure for retention of a preformed metal crown (PMC). Participants will be eligible if they demonstrate cooperation (i.e. Frankl behaviour rating 3-4) during examination/anesthesia/surgery. Exclusion Criteria: * o Any clinical symptoms or signs associated with pulpal pathology which could include sinus tract, spontaneous pain, tenderness to percussion or pathological mobility. * Radiographic evidence of pulp involvement, furcation radiolucency or pathological root resorption exceeding one-third (1/3) of the root length were also considered. * There are certain medical or systemic conditions/contra-indicators for routine dental treatment. * Target teeth which have been previously restored have additional requirements. * A follow-up appointment cannot occur because the parent/guardian will not be able to bring the child in for any follow-up appointments is another issue.
