This study compares two types of dental crowns (caps) placed on children's primary molars (back baby teeth) after a procedure called pulpotomy, which removes infected tissue from inside the tooth. Researchers want to see which crown material works better at protecting the tooth and keeping it healthy.
This clinical trial compares two methods for fixing cavities in baby molars: a traditional metal crown and a simpler technique that seals the crown over the cavity without removing much tooth. It aims to find which method works better in children.
