ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the observations and predictions of success of open-faced anterior stainless steel crowns among Paediatric dentists in their practice. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was undertaken among the Paediatric dentists across the dental institutions in Bengaluru, India. Fifty five registered Paediatric dentists with a minimum experience of three years answered the structured questionnaire consisting of 13 questions regarding the various parameters such as the feasibility, indications, procedure, child behaviour and parental acceptance towards the open-faced anterior stainless steel crowns as a final full coverage restoration for the primary incisors. All data were computerized in to SPSS software, version 19 for Windows software (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA) and descriptive statistics was applied. Results: 70% respondents positively correlated to the feasibility of open faced anterior stainless steel crowns and indicated their use in conditions such as pulp therapy, trauma, multi-surface caries, and developmental defects. The general idea regarding the ease of procedure was positive. Parental acceptance and child behaviour was also positive in this study. 81.8% of all the respondents rated the chair-side behaviour of children towards open faced anterior stainless steel crown restorations as definitely positive. Conclusion: In view of the protection of badly damaged primary incisors, open-faced anterior stainless steel crowns form a decent treatment modality owing to their exceptional durability and longevity and being cost effective with middle ground aesthetics, a strong consideration should be given to their use in children in day to day practice.

Keywords: Awareness, Anterior teeth, Stainless steel crowns, Pediatric dentists.
