This video offers guidance on all aspects of the use of stainless steel crowns in children. It opens by explaining the indications and contraindications for placement of stainless steel crowns and outlining why the primary tooth in question was selected for a crown.
Preoperative assessment of occlusion, anesthetization of the tooth, and tooth preparation are then described in detail, and guidance provided on crown selection and manipulation, including crown trimming, contouring, and crimping. Finally, the steps involved in crown cementation are presented and explained. Stainless steel crowns continue to form an invaluable part of the pediatric restorative dentistry armamentarium, with numerous indications in primary posterior teeth. They offer ease of placement compared with intracoronal restorations and provide unmatched durability and longevity to the treated tooth.
Introduction
This video will help clinicians to develop the skills required to incorporate stainless steel crowns into their pediatric practice, enabling them to retain and treat children in house.
