Parental and Dentist Satisfaction with Primary Anterior Zirconia Crowns: A Case Series Analysis.

This retrospective cohort study evaluated overall parental satisfaction of zirconia crowns (ZC) placed on primary maxillary anterior teeth with that of two independent, blinded dentists. 131 ZC placed in 37 children, aged 24.8-62.

Zirconia crown performance in primary maxillary anterior teeth: a retrospective photographic and radiographic cohort study.

Purpose: This retrospective cohort observational study evaluated marginal integrity, gingival health and aesthetics of zirconia crowns (ZC) placed on primary maxillary anterior teeth at 6- to over 30-month follow-up visits.

Methods: Two independent raters evaluated radiographic and photographic findings in 131 ZC placed in 36 children aged 24.8-62.

A clinical and microbiologic examination of gingival disease in parapubescent females.

A longitudinal study of 18 subjects progressing normally through puberty (Group 1) and a cross-sectional study of nine subjects with precocious puberty (Group 2) were undertaken to evaluate the effect of puberty on clinical and microbiologic parameters of periodontal health. The most inflamed first molar was selected for subgingival plaque sampling. There was no significant change in mean Plaque Index (PlI), Gingival Index (GI) or dark-field microscopic counts of the associated microflora in Group 1 from session to session.
