Stainless steel crown is an often underused and underappreciated restoration for the primary dentition. It is durable, relatively inexpensive, and easily and quickly placed.
The rapid progression of childhood dental caries produces great destruction of the tooth, which requires a great capacity for restoration.
Being teeth with a short life span, it is possible to use inexpensive, quick installation and not very aesthetic restorations. Steel crowns are the first choice for this purpose.
It is subjected to minimal technique sensitivity during placement and offers the advantage of full coronal coverage.
