INTRODUCTION
• In most preschoolers, early childhood caries pose a significant problem. If left untreated, they can
lead to the degeneration of a child’s oral health.
• Managing deciduous, deformed, decayed, or traumatized teeth with tooth-colored restoration is

challenging in children because of their miniature tooth size, larger pulpal chamber, thin enamel,
and decreased surface area for restoration, accompanied by specific behavior management
problems in young pediatric patients.
• Aesthetic concern plays a vital role in modern dental practice. Understanding the child’s and
parental aesthetic perception is necessary for good clinical practice.
 An optimal anterior restoration should have better durability, ease of handling, be aesthetically
acceptable, and be cost effective.
 A child’s looks can affect their achievement in social acceptance, quality of life, and physical and
psychological health.
 There are numerous possibilities for treating carious teeth in young children, ranging from
stainless steel crowns and their modifications to other aesthetic crowns like Bioflex and zirconium
crowns.
 Bioflex crowns are flexible, durable, and adaptable.
 They are available as aesthetic preformed pediatric crowns that offer properties of both stainless
steel and zirconia crowns.
BIOFLEX CROWNS
 Bioflx Crowns are the world’s first flexible, durable, self-adaptable
and esthetic pre-formed pediatric crowns which offer properties of
both stainless steel crowns and zirconia crowns.
CHARACTERISTICS
SNUG FIT/ACTIVE FIT
Distinctively flexible and versatile nature for easy placement
and snug/active fit
CHAIR TIME
Tooth preparation and handling properties similar to SSC, hence
saving valuable chair side time
NOT RECOMMENDED
Bioflx is not recommended for Hall’s technique, bruxism, or

manipulation by crimping
ESTHETIC
Metal free, monochromatic tooth colored crowns
BIOCOMPATIBLE MATERIAL
Made of high impact, biocompatible, hybrid resin polymer (high

strength, flexibility & durability). Bis GMA free and contain no metal.
ESTHETIC LASER MARKING
Laser marking on the inner occlusal surface for easy identification and
optimal esthetics.
DURABLE
Wear resistance of Bioflx crowns is similar to or better than traditional
SSC.
SELF ADAPTIVE CAPACITY

Rather than wearing Bioflx crowns will self adapt forming a ‘dimple’ in
areas of high occlusion.
COLOR STABLE
Stain resistant with no visible discoloration after 1 year

intraorally or when placed opposing an SSC.
ENHANCED RETENTION
Sandblasted intaglio surface for enhanced retention with self

setting RGMI & GI cements
RECOMMENDED CEMENTS
A regular GI (FujiCem1, Ketac), or RMGI (FujiCem ll). Light

cured cement is not recommended.
CLINICAL TECHNIQUE
OBJECTIVES
 The objectives are as follows:
1. To evaluate the clinical performance of Bioflex, zirconia, and stainless steel crowns in
primary dentition based on recurrent caries, gingival health, restoration failure, plaque
accumulation, opposing tooth wear, and clinician satisfaction at zero, three, six and 12
months follow up.
2. To compare the clinical performance of Bioflex, zirconia, and stainless steel crowns in
primary dentition at zero, three, six and 12 months.
3. To assess the child and parental satisfaction of Bioflex, zirconia, and stainless steel
crowns in primary dentition at zero, three, six, and 12 months.
 INCLUSION CRITERIA
1. Children aged three to seven years old who are healthy and free of any systemic
disease
2. Deciduous teeth indicated for crowns
3. Deciduous teeth having two-thirds of root structure left radiographically
4. Presence of one-third of crown shape
 EXCLUSION CRITERIA
1. A pathological discrepancy of root resorption
2. Inflammation at the furcation area
3. The child having oral parafunctional habits
4. Deciduous teeth having not sufficient crown structure
5. Teeth with root caries
 EVALUATION CRITERIA
 The study will be clinically evaluated from the following criteria: crown retention, modified
gingival index, plaque index, stain resistance, gingival marginal extension, occlusion, proximal
contact, opposing tooth wear, and radiographic assessment.
 Clinician’s Satisfaction Criteria will be as follows: surface gloss, roughness, stain resistance,
aesthetic, anatomical form, crown fracture, recurrent caries.
 Parental satisfaction ratings of aesthetic characteristics and their impact of treatment on their
children will be evaluated on the basis of size, shape, color and stain using five-point Likert’s
scale
