Assessment of Clinical Success of Custom-Made Versus Prefabricated Zirconia Crowns in Pulpotomized Primary Molars

Brief Summary

Early childhood caries often results in extensive destruction of primary molars, requiring pulpotomy followed by full-coronal restoration to ensure long-term function and durability. Zirconia crowns have become a popular esthetic restorative option; however, limited evidence is available regarding the clinical performance of custom-made zirconia crowns compared with prefabricated zirconia crowns. This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the clinical performance of custom-made and prefabricated zirconia crowns placed on pulpotomized primary molars. Clinical performance will be evaluated using standardized clinical and radiographic outcome measures over the follow-up period to determine whether custom-made zirconia crowns provide comparable or improved outcomes.
