Abstract

Aim This study aimed to evaluate parental satisfaction regarding prefabricated zirconia crowns applied to primary molar teeth. Material and Methods The study included 53 children aged 5-11 years, who received prefabricated zirconia crowns on primary molars at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Akdeniz University, along with their parents. Parental satisfaction was assessed using a 5-point Likert scale across five parameters: appearance, color, shape, size, and durability. Additionally, the impact of the child's gender on parental satisfaction was examined, and the data were statistically analyzed. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software; in addition to descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, and chi-square (χ²) tests were applied (P 0.05). Conclusion Prefabricated zirconia crowns stand out as an aesthetic and durable restorative option that is highly accepted by parents. Consistent with the literature, prefabricated zirconia crowns were found to be highly accepted both aesthetically and functionally. This study demonstrates not only the clinical success of these crowns but also their high level of psychosocial acceptance.

Özet

Amaç Bu çalışmada, süt azı dişlerine uygulanan hazır zirkonyum kuronlara yönelik ebeveyn memnuniyetinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler Çalışmaya, Akdeniz Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Pedodonti Anabilim Dalı’nda tedavi gören ve süt azı dişlerine hazır zirkonyum kuron uygulanan 5-11 yaş aralığındaki 53 çocuk hasta ve ebeveynleri dahil edilmiştir. Ebeveynlerin hazır zirkonyum kuronlara ilişkin memnuniyet düzeyi; görünüm, renk, şekil, boyut ve dayanıklılık başlıkları altında 5’li likert ölçeği kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca çocukların cinsiyetinin memnuniyet üzerine etkisi incelenmiştir. Veriler SPSS programı ile analiz edilmiş; tanımlayıcı istatistiklerin yanı sıra Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U ve ki kare (χ²) testleri uygulanmıştır (P 0.05). Sonuç Hazır zirkonyum kronlar, ebeveynler tarafından yüksek oranda kabul gören, estetik ve dayanıklı bir restoratif seçenek olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Literatürle tutarlı şekilde, hazır zirkonyum kuronların hem estetik hem de fonksiyonel olarak yüksek kabul gördüğü belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma, hazır zirkonyum kuronların klinik başarılarının yanı sıra psikososyal kabul düzeyinin de oldukça yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir.
