Stainless steel crowns for primary mandibular first molars

Pediatric dentists (PDs) and general dentists (GDs) tend to differ in the approaches to treating carious lesions in primary mandibular first molars. Even with similar case presentations, GDs tend to prefer Class II restorations, whereas PDs are more likely to place stainless steel crowns (SSCs). The importance of these clinical issues and their cost implications are related to the length of time each treatment will last. No clear guidelines exist to guide practice. The effectiveness of each treatment was evaluated based on its longevity.
