Video Transcript
Stainless steel crowns for all primary posterior teeth are available from sizes 2 to 7. The crown size is selected by trial and error.
Note here that size 2 is too small and does not go beyond the occlusive third of the buccal surface.
The smallest crown, size 3 in this case, that will sit completely onto the prepared tooth selected. Also note that during trying, the crown should be locked onto the lingual surface and rolled over to the occlusal into the buccal surface.
