Abstract | ||||
Abstract Background: Dental caries is considered the most prevalent oral disease, especially among children. Full coverage is indicated in multi-surface carious lesions, large interproximal lesions, teeth with hypoplastic defects, or severe discolorations, and cases with very poor oral hygiene and high caries risk. Pulp therapy procedures should be followed by the addition of a full coverage restoration to provide support to the tooth structure. There are various materials and methods of fabrication of full coverage primary crowns. Objectives: This review classifies pediatric crowns according to the method of fabrication. Each category is then subclassified according to material. Conclusion: The most suitable crown should be chosen based on the patient cooperation, esthetic demands, extent of decay, amount of tooth structure as well as moisture control and ability of bonding to the tooth.
