Abstract

Aim: This study assessed the gingival health of permanent first molars before and 6 months after restoration with stainless steel crowns (SSCs). Materials and methods: This study was conducted on 23 children aged 6 to 12 years who required SSCs for their permanent first molars in one quadrant and had a contralateral first molar without SSC. Gingival color, inflammation, bleeding on probing (BOP), and probing pocket depth (PPD) were measured around both teeth. SSC was placed and, 6 months later, the same parameters were measured at both sides. Results: Gingival color significantly improved and PPD, BOP, and inflammation in mesiobuccal and mesiolingual areas around the first molars restored with SSC significantly decreased after 6 months (p < 0.05). However, in distobuccal and distolingual areas, no significant change occurred in these indices 6 months after placement of SSC (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that SSCs with proper fit have no adverse effect on gingiva of permanent first molars given that the patient maintains a good oral hygiene.
