Abstract:

This cross-sectional study will be conducted in order to determine whether parents of patients ages 2-12 would consider rainbow stainless steel crowns an appropriate treatment option and determine a possible preference for them when compared to silver stainless steel crowns in a pediatric dental clinic. Approximately 50 parents will be recruited to participate in a survey to assess possible preference for rainbow stainless steel crowns compared to silver stainless steel crowns.. The parents of the patients will be consented for the survey. There is no incentive for the patient to participate but the survey will allow for future dental providers to have another type of restoration to provide for patients with possible esthetic concerns of silver stainless steel crowns . This study will be conducted over a 6 month period at Pediatric Dental Associates of Cherry Hill. The inclusion criteria will be parents of patients ages 2-12 who are present for a recall exam or comprehensive exam. Those that will be excluded from the survey are those parents of children that do not fall in the age range of 2-12, non-English and non-Spanish speaking patients, patients who are present for a visit that is not a recall exam or comprehensive exam, and those whose parents did not consent to the survey. A statistical analysis will be completed to determine significance between choice of silver or rainbow crowns as well as reasons for preference for either type of crown.
