Title : ZIRCONIA CROWNS: A PARADIGM SHIFT IN PEDIATRIC ESTHETHIC CROWNS

Abstract:

Traditionally, many clinicians tend to forego esthetic considerations when full-coverage restorations are indicated for pediatric patients with primary dentitions. However, the availability of new zirconia pediatric crowns and reliable techniques for cementation makes esthetic outcomes practical and consistent when restoring primary dentition.

The present paper helps us to understand the steps in tooth preparation to receive zirconia crowns as well as tips and tricks to enhance its retention.
