Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Failure of stainless steel crowns12 months

Level 1 failures was considered when there were any signs of failure related to SSCs. Level 2 failures was considered when there were any signs of related pulpal and periapical pathology. Success was considered when Level 1 and 2 failures were absent.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Occlusal contact12 months

Occlusal contact was assessed as follows: normal occlusion or rised occlusion.

Periodontal health12 months

* Plaque index 0 = No plaque in the gingival area.

1. = A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque may only be recognized by running a probe across the tooth surface.

2. = Moderate accumulation of soft deposits within the gingival pocket, on the gingival margin and/or adjacent tooth surface, which can be seen by the naked eye.

3. = Abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the gingival margin and adjacent tooth surface.

* Gingival index 0 = Normal gingiva

1. = Mild inflammation - slight change in color, slight oedema. No bleeding on probing

2. = Moderate inflammation-redness, oedema and glazing. Bleeding on probing

3. = Severe inflammation - marked redness and oedema. Ulceration. Tendency to spontaneous bleeding.
