- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Amount of time taken to complete the intervention from start of intervention to end of intervention (about 45 minutes to 11/2 hours) Success as assessed by number of participants with no coronal or peri-radicular pathology 12 months post intervention
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of participants with occlusal contact of the molars as assessed by the strip test 3 months post intervention Measured by passing a strip between the contra-lateral upper and lower posterior natural teeth with the child biting into maximum intercuspation. If the strip passes without resistance between teeth anterior or posterior to the SSC there is no occlusal contact.
Number of participants occlusal contact of the molars as assessed by the strip test 12 months post intervention Measured by passing a strip between the contra-lateral upper and lower posterior natural teeth with the child biting into maximum intercuspation. If the strip passes without resistance between teeth anterior or posterior to the SSC there is no occlusal contact.
Molar height in occlusion 12 months post intervention Biofilm around the stainless steel crown as assessed by the Modified Plaque Index 12 months post intervention In the Modified Plaque Index, a score of 0 (no plaque), 1 (thin visible plaque, difficult to identify), or 2 (thick visible plaque, easily detected) is assigned
Anterior occlusal contact 12 months post intervention Over lap of the upper and lower incisors will be measured in millimeters.If incisors are missing, canines will be used.
Gingival health of the treated tooth as assessed by gingival status score 12 months post intervention Gingival status is assigned a score of 0 (normal gingiva, natural coral pink gingival with no e/o inflammation), 1 (mild inflammation, slight changes in color, slight edema, no bleeding on probing), 2 (moderate inflammation, redness, edema, and glazing, bleeding on probing), or 3 (severe inflammation, marked redness and edema/ulceration/tendency to bleed spontaneously).
