Abstract:

Restorative Treatment Option Patterns for Carious Primary Posterior Molars and Factors that Influence Provider Treatment Decision


 

Authors: Madeeha Siddiqui, DDS

 

Mentor: Annie Herman Perel, DMD

 



Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the treatment patterns for carious primary posterior teeth and the frequency of use for stainless steel crowns, zirconia crowns, and BioFlx crowns by members of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists. Furthermore, the study will assess if demographics, years in practice, and type of reimbursement influence US pediatric dentists’ treatment decision on selection of full coverage restorations for carious posterior primary molars.

 



Methods: An invitation to participate in an online survey regarding restorative treatment options for carious primary posterior molars and factors that influence provider decision will be sent via email to active members of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists currently practicing pediatric dentistry, including pediatric dental residents.

 



Results: Upon compilation of completed surveys, descriptive statistical analysis of the data will be completed.

 



Conclusion: Past studies have not discussed the elements that influence the provider’s treatment choice of crowns for primary posterior caries. This study will provide insight into the viewpoints of dental healthcare providers regarding treatment patterns for cavitated primary posterior molars and how these treatment options (SSC, zirconia crowns and BioFlx crowns) are presented to parents.
