ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two types of crowns used to treat cavities in children's back teeth, called primary molars. Researchers want to compare how well Bioflx crowns work compared to stainless steel crowns. They will evaluate how successful each type of crown is in treating cavities and how satisfied both parents and children are with the results.

To participate in this study, children aged 4 to 7 who are healthy and can cooperate during visits are eligible. The study requires that the children have specific dental issues, like cavities in their primary molars that need treatment. Participants will receive either a Bioflx crown or a stainless steel crown and will need to come back for follow-up visits to monitor their progress. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to help improve dental care options for children with cavities.
