Stainless steel (SSC), (ZC), strip (SC) used clinically radiographically during a six-month follow-up period. Parents asked fill out questionnaire at one week six months parent child satisfaction levels. patients' pain discomfort levels assessed using visual analogue scale. Mann-Whitney U, Chi-Squared Friedman Cochran Q tests statistical comparisons IBM SPSS Statistics version 23 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA).The evaluations revealed no differences outcomes between SSC, ZC, SC groups. There groups respect satisfaction.The ZCs comparable those crowns. could be choice purposes, disadvantage higher cost.
