Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Amount of time taken to complete the intervention

Time Frame: 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

Time Frame: 12 months post intervention

Secondary Outcomes

  • Number of participants occlusal contact of the molars as assessed by the strip test(12 months post intervention)
  • 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)
  • Anterior occlusal contact(12 months post intervention)
  • Gingival health of the treated tooth as assessed by gingival status score(12 months post intervention)
