Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to test the effectiveness of two different crowns/caps on teeth for restoration of primary molar teeth. The two different materials of crowns are resin polymer and stainless steel crowns. These crowns are placed on the teeth to restore function and prevent further caries and infection.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There is a lack of literary evidence for assessment of the properties of Bioflx crowns and their effect on clinical outcomes and parental satisfaction compared to traditionally available options including stainless steel crowns and zirconia crowns. Hence, this study plans to assess the clinical performance and child and parental satisfaction of Bioflx compared to the "gold standard" stainless steel crowns in pediatric patients.
