The assessment of child satisfaction after treatment with crowns can be an excellent source of additional information which can be used to improve the quality of prosthetic treatment of young patients.
Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the satisfaction of children after fixed prosthetic treatment.
Materials and Methods: The subject of study were 34 children (19 boys and 15 girls) at an average age 6.8±1.9, who had gone through prosthetic treatment with 36 fabric zirconia and 46 composite CAD/CAM crowns. All of the prosthetic constructions were placed during the primary and mixed dentition stage. During the subsequent examination, 2 weeks after treatment, the children completed a specially developed anonymous questionnaire containing 7 questions examining the main aspects of prosthetic treatment - functional, aesthetic, prophylactic, psychoprophylactic. The evaluation of the answers is done on a 3-point scale of Likert (positive, neutral and negative response).
The results were statistically processed using variation and comparative analysis. The results of the subjective assessment of children for the prosthetic restoration showed that there was no significant difference in the opinions among the children. All subjects showed high satisfaction with the prosthetic treatment (Satisfaction Index = 2.77, maximum 3.00).
Conclusion: The prosthetic treatment with composite CAD/CAM crowns and zirconium crowns in children provides not only high functionality but also restores adequately the aesthetic parameters of the dentition, which affects the proper physical, psycho-emotional and social development of the child.
