  1. Stainless Steel Crowns

  2. STAINLESS STEEL CROWNS • First used in the late 1940s and became commonly used in the 1960s • Gained popularity and acceptance along with the idea of “pediatric dentistry”

  3. Pediatric Dental Literature • The Use of Stainless Steel Crowns Seale, NS; Pediatric Dent. 2002 Sept-Oct;24 (5):501-5

  4. Advantages of Stainless Steel Crowns • Can be used for badly broken down crowns • Can be placed with poor isolation • Fast • Economical • Full coverage-prevents recurrent decay • Durable

  5. Success of SSC Vs. Amalgam in Primary Molars • Combined raw data from 4 separate studies show the failure rate for multisurface amalgams is 26% vs. 7% for SSCs after 5 years. • The success rate of SSCs vs. multi-surface amalgams goes up dramatically for restorations place in children under the age of 4 years. Randall. Pediatric Dentistry-24:5, 2002

  6. Evidence For General Dentistry • Longevity of Occlusally-Stressed Restorations in Posterior Primary Teeth Hickel,R et al: Am J Dent 2005 Jun;18(3):198-211

  7. Hickel Article Reviewed Literature 1971-July 2003 Clinical performance of restorative materials in primary teeth. Observed for a minimum of 2 years

  8. Hickel Findings (failure rates) • 14% Stainless Steel Crowns • 35.5% Amalgam • 25.8% Glass Ionomer • 29.1% ART (Atraumatic Rest. Tx) *SSC failures usually failure of overall tx i.e. tooth required extraction.

  9. Attitudes of General Dentists General Dental Practitioners’ Views On the Use of Stainless Steel Crowns to Restore Primary Molars Threlfall AG et al: Br Dent J 2005 Oct 8; 199(7):453-5.

  10. Threlfall Study • General DDS treatment planned clinical care for primary dentitions • Case was of a child that should have stainless steel crowns according to the guidelines of the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry.

  11. Threlfall Study N=93 • 71% of the general dentists knew the BSPD guidelines for placement of SSCs. • Only 7% of general dentists said they would place a SSC in this case • Only 18% had ever used an SSC in their practice.

  12. Reasons Given for Not Placing Stainless Steel Crowns • Time Consuming to Fit • Difficult to Manipulate • Expensive

  13. Reasons Given for Not Placing Stainless Steel Crowns • Time Consuming to Fit • Difficult to Manipulate • Expensive • Ugly!!!!!!

  14. Disadvantage of SSC • Time Consuming • Difficult to Manipulate • Expensive • Ugly

  15. Stainless Steel Crowns are Fast!!! Most pediatric dentists can place one in 10 minutes or less-you can too!

  16. Stainless Steel Crowns are just as easy to manipulate as a matrix band!

  17. Stainless Steel Crowns are Economical • You decide the fee • Best chance of one appointment treatment.

  18. What About Metal Allergy? • SSCs contain nickel and chromium. It is the nickel which may elicit an allergic response in some patients. Although more prevalent in females, intraoral allergic responses seem to be more minimal than extraoral responses and also ‘scarce.’ Janson et al. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop. 1998

  19. What About Gingival Health? • “Plaque accumulation and frequency of gingival problems associated with SSCs in primary teeth seem to be unexceptional” • Some increased inflammation is seen in permanent dentitions after puberty. • Fayle. Int J Paediatr Dent. 1999

  20. Stainless Steel Crowns (SSC)

  21. Indications: Primary Teeth • After pulpal therapy

  22. SSC Indications Following Pulp Therapy

  23. Indications: Primary Teeth • After pulpal therapy • Multi-surface carious lesions

  24. SSC Indications Large, Deep Caries Caries on 3 or more surfaces

  25. Indications: Primary Teeth • After pulpal therapy • Multi-surface carious lesions • Proximal box extended beyond ideal

  26. SSC Indications Large, Deep Caries Caries on 3 or more surfaces

  27. Indications: Primary Teeth • After pulpal therapy • Multi-surface carious lesions • Proximal box extended beyond ideal • Restoration of caries in high risk caries patients

  28. Indications: Primary Teeth • After pulpal therapy • Multi-surface carious lesions • Proximal box extended beyond ideal • Restoration of caries in high risk caries patients • Teeth with extensive attrition

  29. Indications: Primary Teeth • After pulpal therapy • Multi-surface carious lesions • Proximal box extended beyond ideal • Restoration of caries in high risk caries patients • Teeth with extensive attrition • Behavioral Challenges

  30. Indications: Permanent Teeth • Interim restoration until a more permanent restoration can be done • Financial barriers prevent gold or PFM crown • Extensive developmental defects. Restore occlusion and reduce sensitivity due to enamel and dentin dysplasia.

  31. SSC Indications Large, Deep Caries Enamel Hypoplasia 1st Permanent Molars

  32. AAPD (Amer Assoc Pediatric Dentists)Consensus on Use of SSCs • Children at high risk exhibiting anterior tooth decay and/or molar caries may be treated with SSCs to protect remaining at-risk surfaces. • Extensive decay, large lesions or multiple surface lesions in primary molars should be treated with SSCs. • Strong consideration for use of SSCs in children who require GA

  33. Problems with “White” SSCs • White facing prone to fracture and loss • Tooth must be reduced significantly more than conventional SSC prep- therefore, pulp exposure more likely • Cannot crimp or trim as much as conventional SSC

  34. Stainless Steel Crown Technique

  35. AnatomicalDifferences Primary vs. Permanent • Enamel Thickness • Dentin Thickness • Pulpal Size • Gingival Bulge

  36. View of Buccal Cervical Bulge: This is what retains an SSC

  37. Buccal Cervical “Sweetspot”: This is the critical area for retention

  38. Prep (L) vs. No Prep (R): “Sweetspot” Remains

  39. SSC Technique Proper Crown Fit: There are no crown margins The SSC fits over the remaining crown and adapts with a crimped contour.

  40. Proximal Contacts Must be Well Broken • Ledges prevent SSC from telescoping over the tooth

  41. Rubber Dam “Slit Technique”

  42. The “Sloppy Box” Technique Stainless Steel Crown Preparation

  43. Cut an MOD Prep #330 Bur

  44. Reduce Occlusal 45 Degrees 1/8 A Diamond Bur

  45. Lingual Cusp Reduction-Use Base of MOD Prep as Guide

  46. 1-1.5 mm Buccal Counterbevel
