Case Series on Personalized Pediatric Posterior Zirconia Crowns

Abstract

Pediatric dentists must comprehend children's aesthetic perception because kids are increasingly aware of their own and other children's appearance. Many aesthetic restorations are available on the market, including open-faced stainless-steel crowns, pre-veneered stainless-steel crowns, strip crowns, and polycarbonate crowns, but each has its own drawbacks. Prefabricated zirconia crowns are a new trend among pediatric dentists for restoring carious, damaged, and malformed primary molars and anteriors. Customized zirconia crowns, on the other hand, may be able to overcome the limitations of prefabricated crowns in certain situations, particularly molars, resulting in excellent aesthetics and longevity. Our case series illustrates the use and performance of personalized zirconia crowns in a variety of challenging clinical circumstances.
