Stainless Steel Crown Size Selection Predicted by Digital Radiographic Primary Molar Measurements.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether preoperative radiographic measurements could predict the final steel crown selection size for restoration of primary molars. A retrospective chart review of children two to 10 years old receiving oral rehabbilitation between July 2019 and May 2020 was completed. Bitewing radiographs were used to obtain two linear radiographic measurements (coronal and cervical) using DEXIS™ Imaging Software (KaVo Dental).

Postoperative Bleeding Complications after Stainless Steel Crown Placement: A Case Series.

Stainless steel crown (SSC) placement is a common pediatric restorative treatment, generally completed with minimal complications. Discussed in this case series are two patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) with moderate oral bleeding persisting more than 12 hours after oral rehabilitation under general anesthesia. Bleeding incidence after pediatric oral rehabilitation has been found to range from 20% to 40%, with most being considered mild and significantly associated with extractions.
