"* Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following groups using a computer-generated sequence with allocation concealment via sealed opaque envelopes:~ * Group A: Control group~ * Group B: Full-coverage PFM crowns~ * Group C: Full-coverage Zirconia crowns~* Baseline gingival samples will be collected with the help of sterile swab from the target tooth region prior to prosthesis placement and at the follow-up visits i.e. 1, and 3 months; both for experimental groups and control group.~* Microbial analysis will be conducted through culture techniques to quantify CFUs and identify species.~* Alongside, the same sample from sterile swabs will be smeared by fixating it on a microscopic slide and then Candida albicans will be stained by Periodic Acid Schiff technique, and the bacterial species using Gram staining."
