Background and Aim: Aesthetic alternatives to stainless steel crown for restoring primary molars attain a growing interest. The aim of the study was clinical evaluation comparison zirconia in (clinical radiograph) Methods: A randomized controlled conducted on children age group 5 8 years visiting, KVG Dental College Hospital, Sullia who were meet inclusion criteria study. population randomly divided into two groups 24 each. Group I: crown, II: crown. Post endodontic tooth preparation done selected crowns followed by cemented using type 1 glass ionomer cement. subjects be recalled after 3, 6 9 months check gingival index, oral hygiene index bone health intraoral periapical radiograph. Results: There significant increase score OHI both SSC 3 month reduction at months. no statistically difference alveolar height (zirconia SSCs) Conclusion: Zirconia presented an excellent choice posterior teeth full coverage restorations. performed better than SSCs aspect response prevention plaque adhesion.
