Dental crown showdown: which cement keeps Kids' smiles intact?
NCT ID NCT07611734
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at three types of dental cement used to attach zirconia crowns to young children's front teeth. About 120 healthy kids aged 2 to 7 with decayed or injured teeth will get crowns and be checked for up to 3 years. The goal is to see which cement holds the crown best and keeps gums healthy.
