Evaluating Bioflx Crowns Versus Stainless Steel Crowns for Treating Cavities in Childrens Primary Molars

What this Trial Is About

Managing early childhood caries in young children can be challenging for dentists, especially when high-quality treatment and child cooperation are essential. Aesthetics play a key role in treating decayed teeth, and zirconia crowns are often preferred for their appearance but require significant tooth preparation. This trial evaluates the clinical performance and acceptance of a new Bioflx crown that combines features of stainless steel and zirconia crowns to offer an alternative treatment option for pediatric patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the Bioflx crown or a traditional stainless steel crown. For the Bioflx crown, tooth preparation involves reducing the chewing surface and proximal areas with a tapered diamond bur. For the stainless steel crown, similar tooth preparations are done, and the crown is fitted, crimped, and cemented with glass ionomer cement during the procedure. This study follows participants over 12 months, with evaluations at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. Throughout the study, researchers will assess clinical success of the crowns and parental satisfaction. Follow-up visits include checking the crowns condition and how well the child tolerates the treatment. Parental satisfaction will be monitored for about 6 months. The total participation period is up to 12 months, allowing detailed observation of the crowns performance and acceptance in young children.
