Parental satisfaction with preveneered
stainless steel crowns for primary anterior teeth.
Amalgam, composites, and glass ionomer restorations had lower survival rates, when compared to
stainless steel crowns. Over 20% of teeth restored with composite restorations required further treatment where the findings were similar to prior studies [14, 15].
(16) Nowadays, there is a range of materials used to restore the teeth that includes composite resin, polycarbonate crowns,
stainless steel crowns (SSCs), glass-ionomer cement and functional maintenance dispositives to restore a mutilated dentition.
