Can Zirconia Crown be the First Choice for Primary Teeth?
Can Zirconia Crown be the First Restorative Choice After Endodontic Treatment for Primary Teeth?
Objective: Early loss of primary teeth due to caries, can cause occlusion disorders, aesthetic problems, nutritional problems, abnormal language habits, speech disorders and psychological problems temporary or permanent. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the success of using prefabricated aesthetic crowns for the restoration of excessive tooth loss.
Study design: In this randomized, non-blinded clinical study a total of 45 teeth were included, primary molars and anterior teeth and requiring restoration after root canal treatment. Stainless steel(SCC), zirconia(ZC) and strip(S) crowns compared clinically, radiographically and periodontally during follow up period for 6 months. Parents were asked to fill out questionnaire at the 1st and 6th months to evaluate the satisfaction level. In addition, patients' pain and discomfort level was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) scale.
Study Overview
Detailed Description
The color of crowns made it impossible to blind during clinical assessment. Thus, this study was a non-blinded, randomised, and prospective clinical trial.
Sample size: This study included 20 maxillary anterior and 25 posterior teeth that required restoration due to excessive material loss. The study groups were:
Zirconia crown(ZC) restoration on the primary central and lateral tooth with root canal treatment (n = 10), strip crown(S) restoration on the primary central and lateral tooth with root canal treatment (n = 10), Zirconia crown(ZC) restoration on primary teeth with root canal treatment (n = 12), Stainless-steel crown(SSC) restoration on primary teeth with root canal treatment (n = 13).
Clinical Procedure:
Assessment
Clinical assesment: Table 1 Gingival scores: Löe and Silness Gingival Index(GI)[Löe, 1967].
Periapical radiographic evaluation: Preoperative and every follow up visit. (Radiographic assesment: Table 2)
Intraoral photos (standard method): before treatment, after treatment and at every follow-up visit.
Crown restoration: All caries were removed after administration of local anaesthesia and proper isolation. Calcium hydroxide/iodoform paste (Vitapex®) pulpectomy was performed according to the guideline. Teeth were restored with a composite resin Nova Resin (IMICRYL®, Konya, Turkey) and glass ionomer cement (MERON®, Voco, Germany) was used as a base material. Strip Crown Forms (3M-ESPE, St. Paul,Minnesota, USA) were used to restore teeth group SC. ZC group (NuSmile, Houston, Tex. the USA) and SCC(3M ESPE, Minnesota, USA) used.
Visual analogue scale(VAS): 0-2: no pain/discomfort 4-6:moderate 8-10: high pain/discomfort.
The child was asked to choose his/her feelings about the tooth after the procedure and in follow-up appointments. Parents were asked to complete their satisfaction surveys, including the post-op and 6-month controls for patient satisfaction assessment.
Statistical Method:
IBM® SPSS® Statistics V23 analysed data. The Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square tests were used for intergroup comparisons within the anterior and posterior regions. The Friedman and Cochrane Q tests were used for intra-group time-wise comparisons. Analysis results were presented as the median (q1-q3) and frequency (percentage). P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Table 1: Clinical assesment
Crown retention 0= yes 1= no
Individual modified gingival index 0= healthy 1= mild gingival bleeding with a papillus 2= severe inflammation
Plaque index 0= no plaque
- = presence of plaque as a film in the gingival margin
- = presence of moderate plaque
- = plaque covering a large number of surfaces
Color change 0 = no coloring
- = minor coloration
- = noticeable coloration
Buccal strip crown surface 0 = no loss 1 = less than 50% loss 2 = more than 50% loss 4 = loss of the entire surface
Surface abrasion of the antagonist teeth 0= no abrasion
- abrasion started on the incisal surface of the casps
- abrasion more than on the casps
Position of the crowns regarding gingival margin 0= subgingival
1= supragingival
Occlusion 0= contact (marked or superficial) 1= no contact
Condition of the antagonistic tooth 0= natural tooth
- restored tooth
- stainless steel crown
- aesthetic crowns
Location on the arch curve 0= normal alignment
- with rotation
- wrong position
Proximal contacts 0= good (floss passing)
1= weak, no contact
Table 2. Postoperative Radiographic Evaluation Criteria and Scores Radiographic evaluation of crown margins 0=good adaptation, continuity in crown contractions
- small radiolucent area under the restoration
- huge openings
- loss of restoration
Radiographic evaluation 0= healthy, no pathology
- presence of a pathology that does not require immediate treatment
- presence of pathology requiring immediate treatment
Radiographic evaluation of pulpal treatment 0=appropriate root treatment
- short or overflowed root treatment
- failed pulpal treatment
- tooth with no pulpal treatment
