Retention of Bioflx, Zirconia, and Stainless Steel crowns using two different luting cements in primary molars: an in vitro study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Different crown types are used for the full-coverage restoration of primary teeth with extensive caries. Bioflx crowns are hybrid polymer-resin crowns designed to combine the benefits of Stainless Steel and Zirconia. The longevity and clinical efficacy of dental restorations are significantly affected by crown retention. We aim to assess the retention of Bioflx, Zirconia, and Stainless Steel crowns using two different luting materials.

Methods

Fifty-four (n = 54) freshly extracted mandibular second primary molars were divided into three main groups (n = 18): Bioflx crowns, Zirconia crowns, and Stainless Steel crowns (SSCs). Each group was further subdivided into two subgroups (n = 9), using either Conventional Glass Ionomer luting cement (GIC) or Resin Modified Gl
