Comparing Stainless Steel Crowns With Prefabricated Resin Crowns in Primary Molar Teeth (NCT06713330)

A 36-Month Prospective Randomized Clinical Pilot Trial Comparing Stainless Steel Crowns With Prefabricated Resin Crowns in Primary Molar Teeth

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The main reason for this research study is to learn more about a new flexible white dental crown (BioFLX) by comparing it to an existing flexible metal crown (Stainless Steel Crown). It is of interest to see if this new white crown is clinically equivalent to the existing silver crown that is mainly used in pediatric dentistry. A potential participant for this study would have cavities that require a crown, a type of filling that covers the entire tooth, and recommended dental work be done under general anesthesia.
