Crowns in Paediatric Dentistry – A Review

Abstract

Over the years, there have been numerous studies regarding the restoration of primary teeth. Some of them recommended the need of a full coverage crown for restoration over the conventional class I, class II and class V restoration, others pointed out over the need of aesthetic restorations for Pediatric patients. As the technology advanced, the level of parental satisfaction with the conventional stainless steel crowns lowered, this made the Pediatric dentists to search for an aesthetic restoration for the decayed primary tooth like zirconia crowns, pediatric jacket crowns, strip crowns, glass tech crowns etc. The advent of such advanced techniques, devices and material helps in creating beautiful restorations which help children and adolescents improve their self image as we know that the child esthetics is the guide to the adult esthetics.
