3. Carious primary incisors that are not indicated for zirconia crowns:
3.1. Incisors with root/subgingival caries
3.2. Incisors with very little tooth structure that is inadequate for crown retention , i.e. unrestorable
3.3. Incisors with signs or symptoms of extensive pathology such as mobility grade II or more, internal resorption or excessive external root resorption involving more than one-third of the root, or with significant inter radicular/periapical radiolucency (root and inter radicular/periapical area will be assessed based on a preoperative radiographic examination (with periapical or anterior occlusal radiograph) in cooperative patients)
