Pediatric Fiberglass Crown in Primary Teeth

After the caries were removed, the teeth were prepared according to the manufacturer's recommendations for Figaro Crowns. Fiberglass crowns (Figaro Crowns Inc., USA) of the most suitable size in terms of the mesio-distal dimension of the tooth were selected. Following the establishment of anesthesia, the teeth were prepared using diamond cutting burs with a high-speed, water-cooled turbine handpiece. In order to achieve adequate interocclusal space, an occlusal reduction of 1-2 mm was executed along with a proximal reduction reaching 1 mm below the gingival margin. A more conservative reduction was applied to the buccal and lingual surfaces. After preparation, any remaining decayed dentin tissue was removed using a steel round bur with a low-speed micromotor. To ensure occlusal harmony, diamond burs were used to perform abrasion on the crown edges, and the trimmed crown edges were polished using rubber aids before cementation.

Figaro crowns were placed on the prepared teeth with finger pressure, following the manufacturer's instructions for the luting cement to be used. For each cement, the recommended setting time was observed, and excess cement residues were removed accordingly.
