Abstract: Although stainless steel crowns (SSC) are placed routinely in pediatric dentistry, they present significant esthetic limitations. This study aims to investigate the attitude of parents toward SSC application on posterior teeth for pediatric dental patients. A survey including Likert scale, dichotomous, and open-ended questions is administered to parents/guardians of patients ages 3-17 years old presenting for a preventative recall appointment at the UF Pediatric Dental Residency Program in Naples, Florida. Inclusion criteria include patients with at least one SSC placed during the 6-month period preceding the recall appointment. The expected amount of survey’s collected from September 2025 – March 2026 is 64 total. Correlation analysis will be used to evaluate if parents’ overall perception of SSCs is related to parents’ age, education, and background.Data collection is on going and results will be rendered after data collection is complete.
