Study Summary
This trial aims to compare resin polymer crowns and stainless steel crowns to see which one is better for fixing children's teeth. The goal is to find the crown that works best in restoring the teeth
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with primary molar tooth decay who need crowns to restore tooth function and prevent further decay or infection. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically participants would have no allergies to dental materials and be in good general health.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is comparing the effectiveness of two types of crowns for restoring primary molars: one made from a resin polymer (NuSmile BioFlx) and another from stainless steel (3M ESPE). The goal is to see which material better restores function and prevents future caries.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort during fitting, sensitivity in the treated tooth, allergic reactions if there's an allergy to materials used, or issues with crown fit leading to additional dental procedures.
