ABSTRACT
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the treatment outcomes of multisurface caries in primary molars treated with intracoronal restorations versus stainless steel crowns (SSCs) through a retrospective split-mouth study.Methods:
Dental records were screened for patients who had treatment of one primary molar with a multisurface restoration and one primary molar with an SSC. Teeth were followed until a loss to follow-up, exfoliation, or failure.Results:
A total of 988 primary molars were evaluated, with a mean follow-up time of 22 months. The survival probabilities for SSCs were 95.5 percent at one year of service and 92.8 percent at two years of service; and for intracoronal restorations were 92.0 percent at one year of service and 80.0 percent at two years of service. Overall survival analysis showed SSCs to be significantly more successful than restorations (P<0.001), particularly in children treated at ages four years and younger (P<0.001). No statistically significant difference (P=0.10) was found for children treated at ages five years and older.Conclusions:
Stainless steel crowns have a higher survival probability versus restorations for multisurface caries. In children ages four years and younger, more aggressive treatment of multi-surface caries with SSCs should be considered, as conservative treatment leads to an increased need for retreatment.
