Class I restorations and restorations placed using rubber dam presented better AFR .
An elevated number of failures were observed due to recurrent caries , highlighting the need for professionals to work with a health-promoting approach .
BACKGROUND Several restorative material s with specific indications are used for filling cavities in primary teeth .
AIM To systematic ally review the literature in order to investigate the longevity of primary teeth restorations  and the reasons for failure .
A clinical study evaluating success of 2 commercially available preveneered primary molar stainless steel crowns.
PURPOSE To evaluate the success of posterior NuSmile ( ® ) and Kinder ™ Krown and to determine the level of parental satisfaction with this treatment option . METHODS Forty-eight crowns were placed in 18 children with a mean age of 5 years . A split mouth design was used . Each participant r and omly received each crown type on 2 or 4 pair matched molars . Two trained operators completed all treatments . Two additional trained and calibrated clinicians blindly re-evaluated crowns according to specified variables . A visual analogue scale was used to determine parental satisfaction . Examiner reliability was determined by Cohen 's kappa scores and results were analysed statistically using Fisher 's exact test . RESULTS All crowns were retained after 12 months with no statistical difference in the clinical and radiographic success of posterior NuSmile ( ® ) and Kinder ™ Krowns . Overall success was high with 81 % of facings intact and 83 % free of gingival inflammation after 12 months . Radiographically , 81 % were successful . Veneer facing wear was significantly more likely to occur with opposing crowns ( P=.02 ) . Parental satisfaction was excellent with a mean score of 9.3 out of 10 . CONCLUSIONS These crowns combine the durability of conventional stainless steel crowns with improved esthetics and are proposed as a suitable alternative where esthetic dem and is increased
