Evaluation of Nickel and Titanium Releasing from Titanium-coated Stainless Steel Crowns Regarding Trimming: An Study.

Introduction: Stainless steel crowns (SSCs) are the most durable and effective restorations for primary teeth. Titanium-coated SSCs are newer on the market, and this study was conducted to assess the amount of nickel (Ni) and titanium ions released from titanium-coated SSCs, with and without trim, in artificial saliva.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 titanium-coated SSCs were divided into two groups-group I ( = 30, without trim) and group II ( = 30, with trim) and were immersed in 5 mL artificial saliva.
