Crowns In Pediatric Dentistry : A Review
Authors: M.S Mathivadhani , Dr. Joyson Moses MDS , Dr. R. Sharanya MDS
Abstract
Maintaing primary dentition in a good condition is challenging .
children’s primary molars and anterior teeth are the most
frequently affected by caries in the maxilla. It can be difficult to
treat teeth with such severe damage. As a result, several methods
for complete coverage restorations for primary teeth have been
adopted. Proper selection of the crown by clinician helps in better
results . This review seeks to make these crowns more
understandable in order to achieve optimal aesthetic and
restorative retention in such circumstances.

AbstractA 9 year old girl reported with Pre shedding mobility in 84 85. The treatment included the extraction of 84 85 followed by the placement of a Reverse Distal Shoe Space Maintainer for guiding the eruption of the right second premolar in position. 9 months follow up was done which revealed the proper eruption position of the second premolar.

Authors: Gayathri Lingesan, Dr.Joyson Moses, Dr.B.N.Rangeeth
Abstract
Dental caries is one among the major dental problem affecting 60 to 90% of school children. Early and timely intervention of carious tooth of primary dentition restores the function of the teeth as well as further any complication. The purpose of this study is to explore the dental health knowledge, awareness and attitude of patient’s parents towards pulp therapy of primary teeth The study was conducted with the objective to assess the parental knowledge of the importance they give to primary teeth and to evaluate their attitudes towards management of a symptomatic primary tooth, and acceptance of preventive procedures. A set of questions with multiple-choice answers were formulated and given to parents and analyzed. The result of the study showed that most of parents were not aware of the pulp treatment procedures.
Key words: Pulp therapy, Parent’s, Attitude , Primary teeth.

Validity Of Preoperative Radiographic Measurements And Stainless-Steel Crown Size Selection In Pediatric Patients: A Clinical Evaluation.
Abstract
Background: SSCs are prefabricated, offering a convenient and cost effective full-coverage option for patients and clinicians. This also presents sizing challenges in obtaining the best fit. Size selection is based on trial and error, that also reproduces pre-treatment proximal contacts. If a single tooth requires multiple crowns to obtain the “best fit,” this can increase procedural time, decreasing efficiency and potential to increase waste. Some crown manufacturers do not have instructions for use for reprocessing and are single use only.
Aim: To determine pre-treatment radiographic measurement of coronal and cervical to predict stainless steel crown size utilized in clinical setting
Methodology: Children between the age group of two to eight years, requiring full coronal restoration, undergone pulp therapies and availability of preoperative radiographs were included in the study. Preoperative radiographs coronal measurement and cervical linear radiographic measurements were obtained. Using these values prediction tables for SSC was used for size selection. Then these SSCs were selected accordingly. An experienced pediatric dentist confirmed the adaptation of the crowns both before cementation and after cementation. Analysis was done to see whether prediction using coronal measurement or cervical measurement gave fit in most of the cases.
Results: Preoperative cervical measurements showed more appropriate stainless steel crown size selection when compared to coronal measurements, but were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Cervical measurements are effective in stainless steel crown size prediction. This is clinician friendly selecting during the try-on phase and also minimizes waste.
