Crowns versus removing decayed front baby teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat badly decayed front baby teeth in young children: putting a special tooth-colored crown (cap) on the tooth, or removing the tooth entirely. The goal is to see which treatment works better for keeping children healthy and happy.
