Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of resin strip crowns (RSCs) and assess parental and patient satisfaction with RSCs in restoring primary incisors. Methods: The esthetic, functional, and biological properties of RSCs were evaluated using FDI World Dental Federation criteria. Parental and patient satisfaction with RSCs was assessed using interviews. The outcomes were compared between three follow-up periods: 12 to 18, 19 to 24, and 25 to 33 months. Results: Seventy-two RSCs in 41 patients were evaluated after an averagefollowup period of 21.7 months. Most RSCs were clinically acceptable esthetically (79.2 percent) and biologically (84.7 percent) but unacceptable in function (52.8 percent). Parental satisfaction with esthetics was lowest (55.6 percent), while parental satisfaction with functional and biological properties was high (84.7 percent and 93.1 percent, respectively). Overall parental and patient satisfaction with RSCs was high (90.2 percent and 75.6 percent, respectively). Clinical outcomes and satisfaction scores were lower for RSCs with longer follow-up periods. Conclusions: Resin strip crowns were clinically acceptable for restoring primary incisors, with sufficient esthetic and biological properties, but were deficient in function, especially with longer follow-up periods. Overall parental and patient satisfaction with RSCs was high, in spite of parents having low satisfaction with the esthetics of the RSCs.
