Stainless steel crowns in children

Course Information

To present day, 'silver' stainless steel crowns remain the 'gold standard' in paediatric dentistry for restoration of compromised molars. For molars affected with extensive dental caries, developmental defects of enamel, severe tooth surface loss, severe post eruptive breakdown, large multi surface carious lesions, and/or following pulp therapy, 'silver' stainless steel crowns ( SSCs) are definitely the 'gold standard' in paediatric dentistry. SSCs are cost effective, offer the best longevity and durability, are low maintenance and provide long term full coronal coverage. This comprehensive training day includes lectures, case selection, study discussion and hands-on experience including preparation and placement of SSCs (including the Hall Technique) in both primary and permanent molars. Useful and practical clinical tips to help clinicians place SSCs in their own paediatric patients with ease and confidence will also be shared. As this popular hands-on course has a limited number of participants, make sure you register early. You will gain: -confidence in diagnosis, case selection and clinical management of children requiring restorative treatment -clinical practice in a simulated environment with hands-on practical exercises for SSC placement on various primary molars (both Hall technique and conventional placement). Dentist participants will also have the opportunity to practise the placement of SSCs in permanent molar teeth -clinical tips on how to anticipate and identify potential problems with SSC placement and how to resolve them.
