ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how oral hygiene affects the amount of germs in the mouth after restoring children's back teeth (primary molars) using two different types of crowns: stainless steel and bioflex. The study aims to understand how these crowns influence not only the cleanliness of the mouth but also the health of the gums.

To participate, children must be between 4 and 8 years old and have specific dental needs, such as needing crowns on teeth that have already had treatment for issues like cavities. Importantly, children should not have taken antibiotics or had fluoride treatments in the two weeks leading up to the study. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and it’s a great opportunity for children who meet the criteria to help researchers learn more about dental care for young patients. Participants will have their oral hygiene and gum health checked after receiving their crowns, helping to advance knowledge in this area.
