Abstract

Background: There has been an upsurge in parental engagement in choosing full coronal restorations for their children's primary anterior teeth. There are several choices, including prefabricated zirconia crowns, strip crowns, and anterior cosmetic full coronal restorations.

Aim: Aim of this study is to compare parental satisfaction with strip crowns and preformed primary anterior zirconia crowns over 1 year in 2–6 years old children. 

Methodology: 43 zirconia crowns and 43 strip crowns were restored to maxillary primary incisors contralateral in 24 children. Parents gave consent for them to participate in study were called to fill questionnaire over 1 year. Comparison between categorical variables was done using Chi-square test. P value <.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results synthesis: Parents were satisfied with both types of restorations. Statistically significant relationship was found between overall satisfaction, shape, size, color and durability (p value >.05) with strip crowns and zirconia crowns. Parents with lower satisfaction levels with durability of strip crowns and color of the zirconia crowns rated high overall satisfaction.

Conclusion: Respondent’s satisfaction with shape, size, colour, durability was more with Zirconia crown as compared to Strip crown. However, the difference was statistically non-significant (p value >.05).Overall satisfaction was equal for both the crowns. Smile satisfaction was more with strip crown as compared to Zirconia crown, however, the difference was statistically non-significant (p value >.05).
