Which crown lets kids bite stronger? trial tests two dental materials
NCT ID NCT07825103
First seen Sep 17, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers compare two types of preformed crowns for repairing back baby teeth in children aged 4 to 7 who need full dental treatment under general anesthesia. Each child receives either Bioflx or zirconia crowns on their primary molars. The team measures bite force before treatment and at follow-up visits using a digital occlusal analysis system, and also checks how the teeth contact each other. The goal is to see which crown material better restores normal chewing function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- preformed pediatric dental crowns made of Bioflx or zirconia
- What this could lead to
- If one crown type restores bite force better, dentists could choose it to help children chew normally after treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small study of 30 children at one center, so the results may not apply to all kids or all dental practices. Bite force can also vary with age, cooperation, and healing.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged 4-7 years. * Children requiring comprehensive dental treatment under general anesthesia. * Children requiring full-coverage restoration of one or more primary molars with a preformed pediatric crown. * Primary molars with sufficient remaining tooth structure to support full-crown restoration. * Children with a generally healthy medical status and suitable for treatment under general anesthesia. * Parents or legal guardians willing to provide written informed consent for participation in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Children with systemic diseases or medical conditions that may affect oral health, occlusal function, or the ability to undergo general anesthesia. * Children with craniofacial anomalies or developmental conditions that may significantly affect occlusion or bite force. * Primary molars with inadequate remaining tooth structure for full-crown restoration. * Teeth with advanced pathological root resorption or other conditions contraindicating crown restoration. * Children with significant parafunctional habits, such as severe bruxism, that may affect bite-force measurements.
