Consultation and Diagnosis
Patient Assessment & Case History
- Record detailed dental and medical history, including allergies and previous dental treatments
- Evaluate oral hygiene practices and parental awareness
- Assess behavioral management needs for chairside cooperation
Clinical Examination
- Perform a thorough intraoral examination
- Identify carious lesions visually and using an explorer
- Check occlusion, spacing, and opposing dentition
- Assess gingival health and plaque levels
Radiographic Evaluation
- Take bitewing and periapical radiographs for caries extent and pulpal involvement
- Assess interproximal caries, bone levels, and root structure
- Rule out periapical pathology or internal resorption
Pulpal Diagnosis
- Conduct thermal and percussion tests where applicable
- Classify the tooth as vital (reversible pulpitis), non-vital, or requiring pulpotomy/pulpectomy
- Decide treatment plan accordingly before crown selection
Indications for PropedoZR Crowns
- Moderate to severe caries involving >2 surfaces but with restorable crown structure
- Following pulp therapy (pulpotomy/pulpectomy)
- Hypoplastic or developmental enamel defects (e.g., molar-incisor hypomineralization)
- Esthetic priority zones—particularly anterior teeth or visible posterior teeth
- Fractured primary teeth requiring full coverage
Crown Selection Criteria
- Sufficient remaining tooth structure to retain crown after prep
- No need for orthodontic space regaining
- Age and arch alignment allowing crown placement without occlusal interference
Treatment Planning & Consent
- Discuss treatment options with parent/guardian
- Explain benefits of PropedoZR crowns (esthetic, durable, biocompatible)
- Obtain written consent with pre- and post-op instructions
Scheduling and Follow-up
- Schedule crown prep and cementation in one or two visits
- Plan regular follow-ups every 6 months to assess crown retention, gingival health, and eruption sequence
- Fractured primary teeth requiring full coverage
