Abstract

Children are more susceptible to Early Childhood Caries and trauma. Post endodontic treatment, it is necessary for coverage of the treated teeth, and full crowns are considered to be the best option for the same. Preformed crowns for primary molars are available in many sizes and materials to be placed over decayed or developmentally defective teeth. They can be made completely of stainless steel, stainless steel with a white veneer cover or made wholly of a white ceramic material when aesthetics is concerned. The main aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of usage of stainless steel crowns and zirconia crowns in posterior teeth for pedo patients in different age groups. 89000 case sheets were reviewed between June 2019 - March 2020 for possible inclusion and exclusion criteria. Case sheets of 1496 pediatric patients who underwent stainless steel crown and zirconia crown placement in posterior teeth were obtained from a Private Dental Institute. Collected data were analysed using SPSS statistics software. Results showed that stainless steel crowns were more prevalently used among all age groups (99.54%) and were more prevalent among the age group 0-5 years (69.61%). Stainless steel crowns were also found to be more prevalent among male pediatric patients (57.80%). In Conclusion, stainless steel crowns were most prevalent among all age groups and are more prevalent among male pediatric patients.
