(Group A: Bioflx crowns)

Minimal preparation will be required due to their flexural adaptability:1. Choose an appropriately sized Bioflex (Nusmile) crown of similar size to the mesiodistal width.2. The tooth will be prepared using a flame stone for occlusal reduction by 1-1.5 mm, including the central groove .3Proximal preparation will be around 0.5 mm, by using a fine, long, tapered diamond stone to cut interproximal slices mesially and distally.4. The crown will be placed with a snug fit and cemented using glass ionomer

OTHER

(Group B) : Preformed Zirconia crown

1\. Size Determination can be achieved by holding a crown up to the existing tooth or, if available, using digital x-ray measurements to match the patient's interproximal width to the corresponding crown size.2. OcclusalPerform an occlusal reduction of about 1.5-2 mm, ensuring adequate space for the crown material. 3. Axial ReductionReduce the buccal and lingual surfaces uniformly, ensuring the removal of any prominent buccal bulges to allow for a passive crown fit. 4. Interproximal ReductionClearance: Ensure sufficient interproximal space by removing enough tooth structure to allow the crown to seat without interference.5. Subgingival PreparationMargin Placement: Extend the preparation subgingivally by approximately 2 mm to achieve optimal crown retention and aesthetics. This involves removing the chamfer margin at the tissue level and ensuring a smooth transition from the root to the coronal tooth structure
