Abstract
The performance of posterior pediatric zirconia crowns with stainless steel crowns is of interest. Hence, 30 children (age 4-8) (17 male, 13 females) were treated with 50 pre-formed posterior primaries (25 zirconia and 25 stainless steel crowns). Crowns were evaluated for retention, marginal integrity, opposing tooth wear, gingival inflammation, and proximal contact at 3, 6, 9, and 12th month. At the end of follow-up period overall success rate with zirconia crown was 93.5% and that of stainless steel crown was 96.7%. Statistical analysis showed no difference between the groups. However, posterior preformed zirconia and stainless steel crowns showed good clinical performance. Thus, Zirconia crowns are preferred when esthetics is of prime concern for the parent and child.
