Why do stainless steel crowns fail?

When primary molars lose a lot of dental tissue due to extensive caries or trauma, it is necessary to rehabilitate them with preformed steel crowns, which have a high success rate.

Stainless steel crowns are placed in an easy-to-perform, one-appointment procedure and are inexpensive. There are cases of failure that are the reason for this study.

Modified Hall technique in hypomineralized molar

Enamel hypomineralization is a developmental defect, it does not have a defined cause although it is related to systemic or environmental alterations during the first three years of life.

Molars with hypomineralized enamel are susceptible to erosion and caries. The rehabilitation of the molars is necessary to avoid early tooth loss, and in this case a steel crown was placed with the modified Hall technique.

Caries is an infectious process that seriously affects dental enamel, and when it is not treated in time, it endangers the permanence of the tooth in the oral cavity.

Steel crowns are used in pediatric dentistry when primary teeth are severely damaged by dental caries. They are usually placed after pulp treatment and in hypoplastic teeth.
