This Feasibility Study Will Evaluate the Study Protocols for Treatment and Follow-up Controls of Primary Molars With Caries in Children Treated With Stainless Steel Crowns or Conventional Fillings. Treatment Success and Potential Failures Will be Followed at 3, 6 and 12 Months Post Treatment.
Sponsor: Marie Norman
Summary
The goal of this feasibility study is to evaluate the study protocols of a future larger clinical study. In this study children, aged 3-7 years, with caries lesions in their primary molars will be treated with stainless steel crowns or conventional fillings. Treatment results will be compared and participating children, parents and dentist will be asked questions about the treatments and the study protocol. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Children, parents and dentists´ acceptance of study protocols * Practical/logistical issues for the public dental clinics during the study * Find out if there is a difference in treatment result between stainless steel crowns and conventional fillings Researchers will compare treatment with stainless steel crowns to conventional fillings to see if there are any difference in treatment results and how children and parents view the treatment. Participants will receive dental treatment and follow up controls at their public dental clinic. Children, parents and participating dentist will be asked to fill out surveys before, during and after treatment and follow up controls
