The presence of carious lesions in children associated with developmental defects of enamel is frequently observed. Restoring these affected teeth can be a challenge for the clinician. Teeth with enamel defects may have poor or limited resin adhesion and some may require repeated restoration. Prefabricated zirconia permanent molar crowns were recently introduced as an option for restoring severely decayed and broken down young permanent molars. These new restorations offer an efficient, esthetic, and economic option to restore severely broken down carious permanent molars that may be associated with enamel defects in partially or fully erupted molars. A clinical case of a 13-year-old female patient is presented. She had a mandibular second permanent molar that demonstrated significant caries and loss of much of the clinical crown, which was treated with a vital pulpotomy and restored with a prefabricated zirconia crown.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the clinical performance of 3D printed endocrowns (ECs) and prefabricated zirconia crowns (PZRCs) in restoring pulpotomized primary molars, over 3, 6, and 12 months.
Methods: Thirty pulpotomized mandibular primary molars in 16 children aged 4-8 years were randomized with a 1:1 allocation ratio into two groups: group (A), PZRCs, and group (B), 3D-printed ECs. All restorations were evaluated for esthetic, functional, and biological properties using FDI criteria at 3-, 6-, and 12-month intervals.

Backgound: Preformed metal crowns (PMCs) and zirconia crowns (ZCs) are commonly used for the treatment of primary molar caries. However, there have been no reports on factors influencing parental awareness, willingness to use these treatments, and the associated discomfort after crown placement in children.This study is the first to report factors influencing preformed crowns, providing a reference for the prevention and treatment of deciduous carious teeth.

Statement Of Problem: Three-dimensional (3D) printing and milling technologies have been increasingly used in prosthodontic practice for fabricating digital prostheses. Nevertheless, evidence relating to the wear resistance of denture teeth fabricated using these methods is lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the wear resistance exhibited by denture teeth fabricated using 3D printing and milling technologies with prefabricated denture teeth.

This case report features a female patient with the chief complaint of needing to replace an anterior crown. After a comprehensive oral assessment and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiographic examination, it was determined that the crown on Tooth #9 was subgingivally fractured. The procedure involved atraumatic extraction of Tooth #9, followed by immediate implant placement.

Statement Of Problem: Restoring endodontically treated premolars with noncircular canals presents a significant challenge.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the in vitro fracture resistance and the finite element computational calculation-based stress and safety factor of noncircular-shaped, endodontically treated premolars restored with 5 different prefabricated and custom computer-aided design and computer-aided manufactured post-and-core systems.
Material And Methods: Fifty single-rooted oval-shaped canal maxillary premolars were endodontically treated and post spaces were prepared.
