1 2010 National Primary Oral Health Conference October Gaylord Palm, Orlando, Florida The use of stainless steel crowns on primary molars Enrique Bimstein Professor of Pediatric Dentistry University of Florida College of Dentistry.

2 The use of SSC on primary molars Goal The participants will become familiar with the basic knowledge and procedures required for the restoration of primary molars with preformed stainless steel crowns.

3 Topics 1. Introduction: crown types, definition, rationale, indications and contraindications. 2. Characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. 3. Clinical procedures: tooth preparation, crown adaptation and cementation. 4. Summary and conclusions.

4 Crown types for primary teeth Cast : Gold crowns Stainless steel: occlusal anatomy trimmed contoured pre-veneered Composite: plastic matrix

5 Cast crowns - gold

6 Cast crowns - gold

7 Cast crowns - gold

8 Stainless steel crowns Preformed metal crowns or stainless steel crowns (SSC) have been in use for about 60 years. SSC are an invaluable restorative material in the treatment of badly decayed primary teeth.

9 Definition of SSC Full coverage metallic, definitive restoration for primary teeth. (Or temporary for permanent teeth)

10 Definition of SSC Is a metal shell with preformed anatomy that can be adapted to the tooth.

11 Rationale for using a SSC Perio health # of visits Time Difficulty Lab required Cost Esthetics Good Several Hours Difficult Yes Expensive Bad Good One Minutes Easy No Cheap Bad

12 Rationale for using a SSC Stainless steel crowns are used to restore primary molars in which the failure of an amalgam or composite restoration is clear in your mind.

13 Rationale for using a SSC The use of SSC is indicated in cases in which the prognosis for long term success of regular restorations is reduced by a high possibility of: a. restoration fracture b. recurrent caries.

14 Indications for using a SSC Extensive caries destruction. An adequate isthmus is difficult to obtain with a small occlusal surface a wide contact and large pulp.

15 Indications for using a SSC Extensive caries destruction. An adequate isthmus is difficult to obtain with a small occlusal surface a wide contact and large pulp.

16 Indications for using a SSC No gingival floor possible for a proximal occlusal restoration Sidney B. Finn: Pediatric Dentistry book

17 Indications for using a SSC Early childhood caries

18 Indications for using a SSC High caries incidence

19 Indications for using a SSC

20 Indications for using a SSC After endodontic treatment Pulpotomy Pulpectomy

21 Indications for using a SSC After endodontic treatment Pulpectomy Pulpotomy A l w a y s?

22 Indications for using a SSC Pulpotomized primary molars can be successfully restored with one surface amalgam if their natural exfoliation is expected within not more than 2 years. Holan et al. Success rate of formocresol pulpotomy in primary molars restores with stainless steel crowns vs amalgam. Pediatr Dent 24:212, 2002.

23 Indications for using a SSC Delopmental abnormalities Enamel hypoplasia Enamel hypoplasia and caries

24 Indications for using a SSC Compliance and behavior?

25 Indications for using a SSC Space maintainer As an abutment for space maintainers or prosthetic appliances.

26 Indications for using a SSC Fractured molars due to trauma Tejani Z, Johnson A, Mason C, Jane Goodman J. Multiple crown-root fractures in primary molars and a suspected subcondylar fracture following trauma: a report of a case. Dental Traumatology 2008; 24:

27 Indications for using a SSC Multi-surface restorations?

28 Indications for using a SSC Preformed metal crowns demonstrate greater longevity and reduced retreatment need compared with (multi-surface) amalgam.

29 Indications for using a SSC The literature demonstrates evidence of a more favorable outcome for SSCs than for amalgam restorations in primary molars requiring multi-surface restorations. 10 Studies, 1.6 to 10 years follow-up failure rates, ranged from 1.9 to 30.3 % for SSCs and 11.6 to 88.7 % for amalgam restorations. Efficacy of preformed metal crowns vs. amalgam restorations in primary molars: a sistematic review. JADA 131:337-43, 2000.

30 Indications for using a SSC One surface restorations Two surface restorations Stainless steel crowns Failure before the age of 8 years 1 st primary molar 2 nd primary molar 70% 32% 75% 71.4% 12.8% 11.0% Dawson et al. ASDC J Dent Child 1981.

31 Multi-surface restorations VS SSC 1. Type of tooth (first vs second molar) 2. Dental age of patient. 3. Caries incidence. 4. Patient s compliance (brushing etc.). 5. Water fluoridation. 6. Bucco-lingual extent of cavity. 7. Other (esthetics, parents compliance, etc.).

32 Contraindications for SSC Primary tooth close to exfoliation

33 Contraindications for SSC 2. Extensive dental caries: a. there is not enough crown structure left. b. the caries (gingival) extent does not allow for adaptation. c. excessive mesial drift.

34 Contraindications for SSC No restorability due to extensive crown destruction

35 Contraindications for SSC No restorability due to caries gingival depth

36 Contraindications for SSC No restorability due to caries gingival depth

37 Contraindications for SSC No restorability due to excessive mesial drift

38 Contraindications for SSC 3. Esthetics.

39 Contraindications for SSC 4. Allergy to nickel Stainless steel crowns (Unitek and Rocky Mountain) crowns composition consist of 17-19% chromium, 9-13% nickel and carbon. Nickel based crowns (Ion Ni-chro from 3M) composition consists of 76% nickel, 8% iron, 0.04 carbon and 0.35% manganese. MS Muthu- N Sivakumar. Pediatric Dentistry. Principles and practice. Elsevier 2009.

40 Contraindications for SSC 4. Allergy to nickel Nickel is one of the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis and produces more allergic reactions than all other metals combined. There may be a risk of sensitizing patients to nickel with long-term exposure to nickel-containing appliances as in orthodontic therapy. Bass JK, Fine H, Cisneros GJ. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop Mar;103(3):280-5

41 Contraindications for SSC

42 Contraindications for SSC 4. Allergy to nickel (???) Nickel, has its problems with human biochemistry. Children have to start wearing glasses within a few months of receiving the crowns.

43 4. Allergy to nickel (???) If your child becomes cranky and misbehaves after the crowns were placed while previously he had a pleasing personality, check it out. Contraindications for SSC

44 Characteristics of SSC Stainless steel crowns may be with: Occlusal anatomy Trimmed Contoured Crimped? Pre-veneered

45 Characteristics of SSC Occlusal anatomy only (Unitek) They require trimming, contouring and crimping.

46 Characteristics of SSC Oclussal and pre-trimmed (Unitek) Festooned to allow a line parallel to the gingival crest.

47 Characteristics of SSC Oclussal and pre-trimmed (Unitek) Festooned to allow a line parallel to the gingival crest. They require contouring and crimping.

48 Occlusal, pre-trimmed and precontoured: (Ion-Nichro) Characteristics of SSC Some trimming, contouring and crimping may be necessary. When trimmed, re-contouring, crimping and polish are required.

49 Characteristics of SSC 3M Stainless steel ION Ni-Chro Shape Length 3M Stainless steel ION Ni-Chro Cervical constriction

50 Pre-veneered: metal with esthetic facing (NuSmile). Characteristics of SSC Have a resin-composed facing bonded to Occ. and B. surfaces. Expensive, require more tooth reduction, and allow only for minimal crimping.

51 SSC in primary teeth: topics 1. Introduction: crown types, definition, rationale, indications and contraindications. 2. Characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. 3. Clinical procedures: tooth preparation, crown adaptation and cementation. 4. Summary and conclusions.

52 Clinical procedures for SSC Rationale Tooth preparation. Crown selection Crown adaptation. Complications. Cementation. Cleaning

53 Rationale for SSC tooth preparation and adaptation The tooth preparation and crown adaptation of SSC in primary (and permanent) molars is based (among other) on the crown s: Flexibility: easily bent or shaped. Elasticity: the tendency of a body to return to its original shape after it has been stretched.

54 Rationale for SSC tooth preparation and adaptation Preformed metal crowns are flexible and elastic (they snap). The tooth cervical bulge is surrounded by the crown.

55 Rationale for SSC tooth preparation and adaptation

56 Rationale for SSC tooth preparation and adaptation a. do not require the retention features that are incorporated in cavity design of cast crowns. b. obtain their retention from the flexibility and elasticity of the thin, contoured and crimped crown margins, and cementation.

57 Rationale for SSC tooth preparation and adaptation Subgingival depth 1.5 mm C. E. J.

58 Clinical procedures for SSC Rationale Tooth preparation. Crown selection Crown adaptation. Complications. Cementation. Cleaning

59 Check Occlusion before starting tooth reduction.

90 SSC selection 1. Choose the crown that fits MD. Select the smallest crown that restores the pre-existing contacts (if present). The most common used crowns are size # 4

91 Too small M-D SSC selection

92 Too big M-D SSC selection

93 SSC selection Radiograph in which crown adaptation is adequate in tooth 64 and inadequate in 65 and 74.
