Abstract

Introduction: With the society becoming more conscious on aesthetics and parents being more influential in choosing the crown for children, evaluating the parental satisfaction becomes a crucial element to be considered. Aim: The present study aims at evaluating the parental satisfaction and child’s acceptance of SSCs and Figaro crowns in primary molars. Materials and method: 50 children who received SSCs and Figaro crowns in the primary molars were identified for participation in the study. The children were clinically examined and the questionnaire for parent satisfaction was administered. Data was collected and subjected to statistical analysis. Results: The parental satisfaction with the colour of Figaro crowns was superior and was statistically significant (p=0.01). None of the parents were dissatisfied with the shape of the crown in both the crowns. All the parents in Figaro crown group were either satisfied or very satisfied with the size of the crown. With reference to the children’s overall rating score, 100% of the children were satisfied with Figaro crowns whereas only 36% of the children were satisfied with SSCs (p=0.01). Conclusion: Figaro crowns has a significant acceptance from both the parents and the children.
