Bite Force Recovery Following Pediatric Full Crown Restorations

This controlled, randomized clinical trial aims to compare the recovery of occlusalfunction following restoration of primary molars with preformed BioFlx crowns andstainless steel crowns in children aged 5‐8 years. thirty eligible children requiringfull‐coverage crown restorations of primary molars will be randomly allocated to receiveeither a BioFlx crown or a stainless steel crown. Occlusal bite force, occlusal contactdistribution, vertical dimension, and masseter muscle activity assessed by surfaceelectromyography will be evaluated before treatment, immediately after crown placement,and during follow‐up. Clinical evaluations will also be performed at 1and 3 months.
