Abstract

Children who lose their front teeth may experience a range of complications, including difficulties with speech, impaired aesthetics, decreased masticatory efficiency, the emergence of parafunctional habits, and psychological issues. In response to growing awareness of aesthetic dental options, there is an increasing demand for effective treatments for dental caries, discolored teeth, hypoplastic abnormalities, fractures, and missing teeth in pediatric patients. For full crown coverage, various restoration options are available, including Figaro crowns, zirconia crowns, open-faced stainless steel crowns (SSC) with veneer on the chair side, polycarbonate crowns, and commercially veneered SSC. This article provides an overview of zirconia crowns in pediatric dentistry, highlighting their properties, clinical applications, and advantages over other restorative options
