Not Applicable
Conditions
Dental Caries
Interventions
Device: ZR Crown
Device: Stainless Steel Crown
Registration Number
NCT01919515

NuSmile, Ltd.
Brief Summary

The hypothesis to be tested is that NuSmile ZR esthetic primary molar crowns perform similarly to an established Stainless Steel primary molar crown (3M ESPE) for restoration of primary molar teeth.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to clinically evaluate the performance of a new NuSmile ZR esthetic primary molar crown, compared with 3M ESPE Primary Stainless Steel crowns (currently the most common full coverage crown for the restoration of primary molars when a crown is necessary)in the restoration of 50 paired, prepared primary first and second molar teeth in the deciduous dentition of child patients.
