Purpose: To determine if there is a difference in success between primary stainless steel crown (SSC) and composite resin (CR) performed under general anesthesia (GA) in the BronxCare Health System.
Methods: The data analyzed the failures of posterior SSC and class 2 CR in 3-12 year-old ASA I-II children who underwent dental treatment under GA between 2013-2018. Subjects underwent clinical and radiographic follow-up at least once in the 6-, 12-, and 18-months post-treatment. 278 subjects were included in this retrospective chart review. Subjects who missed two or more follow-ups were excluded from the study.
Results: Total number of SSC’s evaluated were 599 and total Cl2 restorations were 368. Comparing the two, the p-value of.003 and t test 2.951 shows shows that we can reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion: SSC had lower survival rate than Class-II in children 3-12 treated under GA at BCHS. Females have more failure treatment rates than boys. SSC failures are more independent of age whereas CL-II failures show better outcome as one gets older.
