Assessment of oral hygiene and periodontal health around posterior primary molars after their restoration with various crown types

Abstract

Oral hygiene and gingival health around a restored primary tooth deteriorate with time. Our results suggest that SSC, an open-faced SSC, or a NuSmile(®) pediatric crown should be the preferred crown type for restoring posterior primary teeth.

Aesthetic preformed paediatric crowns: systematic review

“…We included six articles corresponding to four studies: three compared two groups and one, five groups . Two of them described the same split‐mouth study that compared pre‐veneered stainless steel crowns (NuSmile ® ) with SSCs .…”

“…Two of them described the same split‐mouth study that compared pre‐veneered stainless steel crowns (NuSmile ® ) with SSCs . One study with an unclear design compared different pre‐veneered stainless steel crowns (NuSmile ® , Pedo Pearls ™ and ex vivo by laboratory procedures) with SSCs or open‐face stainless steel crowns . One study compared ex vivo pre‐veneered stainless steel crowns with open‐faced stainless steel crowns and the last one two different brands of pre‐veneered stainless steel crowns (NuSmile ® , Kinder Krowns ® ) (Table ).…”

“…One study compared ex vivo pre‐veneered stainless steel crowns with open‐faced stainless steel crowns and the last one two different brands of pre‐veneered stainless steel crowns (NuSmile ® , Kinder Krowns ® ) (Table ). In only one study did the majority of participants receive the treatment under general anaesthesia and the use of anaesthesia was not reported in two studies . In three studies, pulp treatment before placing the crowns was not reported and pulpotomies were not systematically performed in one study .…”

“…In only one study did the majority of participants receive the treatment under general anaesthesia and the use of anaesthesia was not reported in two studies . In three studies, pulp treatment before placing the crowns was not reported and pulpotomies were not systematically performed in one study . The number of operators varied from one to three; in other studies, there was no information .…”

“…In three studies, pulp treatment before placing the crowns was not reported and pulpotomies were not systematically performed in one study . The number of operators varied from one to three; in other studies, there was no information . The maximum follow‐up time was 4 years in one study; in two studies, 18 months; and in one, 1 year .…”
