Abstract

Background: The use of steel crowns enables to preserve the temporary teeth until their physiological changeover; however, in the literature there is a controversy regarding the behavior of the gingival tissue around teeth restored with steel crowns. Purpose: To analyze the gingival condition around the temporary teeth that have been restored with and without steel crowns in children from 3 to 9 years old who attended to the dental clinic at the Pontificia Universidad de Colombia in Bogotá between 2013 and 2014. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out and 110 temporary teeth restored with steel crown were observed and compared to the teeth restored without it. Biofilm and gingival indexes were analyzed as well as the steel crown clinical adaptation and the presence of cement excess in any of the dental surfaces. Results: No significant statistical difference was found between the steel crown adaptation and the gingival condition. The only relevant indicator was the vestibular surface (p = 0.018). On the other hand, both the biofilm and the gingival condition showed a poor correlation (19%). Conclusions: The gingival index in teeth restored with and without steel crown showed a positive correlation between gingival inflammation and the children population age, even though the biofilm retention was not significant.
