Clinical success of stainless steel crowns placed under general anaesthesia in primary molars: An observational follow up study

Alternative Caries Management Options for Primary Molars: 2.5-Year Outcomes of a Randomised Clinical Trial

“…Similar to other trials and observational studies [Schüler et al, 2014;Randall et al, 2000] evaluating conventionally placed stainless-steel crowns in primary molars, in this study, the HT showed a very high success rate (93%). This is also in line with another study of the HT where similar success rates were found.…”

Restorations in primary teeth: a systematic review on survival and reasons for failures

“…Concerning the survival of dental materials, we found a wide variation in AFR among the included studies. SSC was the material that presented the highest success rate without presenting secondary caries as reason for failure; however, only three studies with high bias risk evaluated the performance of this material. The reasons for failure when using SSC were tooth fracture, restoration loss, and endodontic complication.…”

Use of stainless steel crowns to restore primary molars in Germany: Questionnaire‐based cross‐sectional analysis

“…Most common reasons for retreatment are as follows: the presence of a new lesion in an unrestored part of the tooth, carious lesions associated with restorations, bulk fracture, and loss of retention. On the other hand, SSCs are extremely long‐lasting restorations, which offer the benefit of complete coronal coverage minimizing the most common reasons for tooth retreatment, with significant lower failure rates in comparison with other restorative techniques for primary molars . Particularly, the HT combines the advantages of this type of restoration with the lower risks for endodontic treatment by sealing the carious lesion instead of excavating it and therefore reducing the risk of pulp damage.…”

[5][6][7]11,32,33 Particularly, the HT combines the advantages of this type of restoration with the lower risks for endodontic treatment by sealing the carious lesion instead of excavating it and therefore reducing the risk of pulp damage. A recent RCT with 2.5 years of follow-up 11 revealed significant higher success rates for restoration of multisurface carious teeth with SSCs using the HT (93%) as compared to compomer fillings (67%; 0.013).…”
