Purpose: This study aimed at evaluating the clinical performance and parental satisfactionwith zirconia crowns versus the pre-veneered stainless-steel crowns (SSCs) in primary anteriormaxillary teeth in a group of Egyptian children under general anesthesia.Methods: A retrospective analysis of forty maxillary anterior pediatric zirconia crowns versusforty pre-veneered SSCs was performed. Crowns were examined for retention, gingival health,color match, contour and opposing tooth wear. Parental satisfaction with either type of crowns wasevaluated by questionnaire.Results: Seventy-seven crowns were evaluated in 32 children with 3 teeth lost to exfoliation.Crowns were examined 4-12 months after placement. Zirconia crowns showed a 100% retentiveness,color match, absence of gingival irritation, 94.7% cosmetic appearance with 100% overall parentalsatisfaction rated as very satisfied. On the other hand, although pre-veneered SSCs showed94.9% retentiveness, 12.8% (n=5) showed mild inflammation on the gingival index together withslight shade mismatch, along with 23.1% (n=9) non-ideal crowns with a reduced overall parentalsatisfaction rated as 71.8% very satisfied.Conclusions: Pediatric zirconia crowns offer a better esthetic and highly acceptable, albeitmore expensive, restorative option for primary maxillary anterior teeth.
