Abstract

Introduction: Stainless steel crowns are the best treatment option for restoring primary carious teeth. However maintaining good oral hygiene in children with crowns can be difficult. Plaque and calculus deposits in these teeth will damage the usual teeth nearby. Materials and Methods: This study was done to determine the OHI score in children under the age group of 7-10 years with stainless steel crowns. Data was gathered from a private dental institution's patient record system, with gender and the inclusion criteria was patients with stainless steel crowns. The study was conducted between September 2020 and March 2021. 114 patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion requirements being included in the report. Chi square test and descriptive analysis was done. Results: More than 50% of the children with stainless steel crowns had moderately good OHI scores. Girls had better oral hygiene scores compared to boys. Discussion: Males generally visit the dentist less frequently than females, and seek oral therapy for an acute condition rather than disease prevention. Females have more positive views toward dental appointments, are more knowledgeable about oral health, and practice better oral hygiene than females. Conclusion: Girls with stainless steel crowns had better oral hygiene scores compared to boys.
