About

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical success of modified celluloid strip crown restorations applied using interim therapeutic restoration and high-viscosity glass ionomer cement to the maxillary anterior teeth of children with early childhood caries and cooperation problems.

Full description

Following the decision on the appropriate size of celluloid strip crown, the tooth will be isolated using roll cottons and the "cavity conditioner" (GC, Japan) will be applied to all surfaces for 10 seconds, washed away and dried with cotton pellets. The selected celluloid strip crown will be filled with a fluoride-releasing bulk fill hybrid glass ionomer cement (EQUIA Forte, GC, Japan) prepared by mixing for 10 seconds in an automatic mixer and placed on the tooth with light pressure. The excess material on the crown margins will be removed with a hand instrument, and the celluloid strip crown will be removed from the tooth. If necessary, the restoration will be polished using a polishing discs. After the crown surface is washed and dried, a nano-filled surface sealant (EQUIA Forte Coat, GC, Tokyo, Japan) will be applied for 10 seconds with a micro-tipped applicator and light cured for 20 seconds. Clinical evaluations will be done at the 3rd, 6th and 12th months.
