Wear Resistance of Primary Esthetic Crowns Under Simulated Mastication: An In Vitro Study

Abstract

Background and Objectives: The durability and occlusal wear characteristics of primary esthetic crowns are vital in pediatric dentistry for maintaining functionality and aesthetics. This in vitro study aimed to evaluate and compare the occlusal wear of natural teeth (control group) with Edelweiss composite crowns (Group A) and zirconia crowns (Group B) after one  year of simulated chewing with thermocycling.
