New tooth crowns for kids: a pretty alternative to metal?
NCT ID NCT07465211
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two types of dental crowns for children's baby molars: the standard stainless steel crown and a newer, tooth-colored BIOFLX crown. Researchers treated 36 children who had at least two decayed baby molars needing crowns. They checked the crowns after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months for things like fit, color, and any problems, and also asked parents how satisfied they were. The goal was to see if the more natural-looking BIOFLX crown could be a good alternative to the metal one.
