Comparative clinical performance of stainless steel, zirconia, and Bioflx crowns in primary molars: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Choosing the appropriate crown type for primary molars is essential for effective restoration and oral health. Stainless steel crowns are durable and cost-effective, making them suitable for extensive decay. Zirconia crowns offer esthetic advantages, while Bioflx crowns require less preparation and provide optimal appearance. Understanding the benefits and limitations of each type ensures optimal outcomes for young patients. The purpose of the study was to clinically compare these three types of crowns for primary molars regarding plaque accumulation, debonding rate, crown substance loss and gingival health.
