The study will evaluate the clinical performance and both patient and parent satisfaction of 3d printed crowns versus prefabricated Stainless-steel crowns (SSCs) in compromised first permanent molars
A total of Forty permanent first mandibular molars in healthy subjects will be selected from the Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health outpatient clinic. The molars will be randomly assigned equally into two treatment groups group A 3D-printed crowns \& group B prefabricated SSCs, removal of caries with a high-speed handpiece then removal of the remaining carious lesion with excavator then glass ionomer restoration will be placed, preparation of SSCs crowns will be done in Group A by reduction of occlusal surface by about 1.5 mm, Proximally, tooth reduction is made through the mesial and distal contact areas, then roundation of line angles. Proper size of crown will be selected. It can also be helpful to measure the dimension of the contralateral tooth. A correctly fitting crown should snap or click at try in. In group B reduction will be performed on the occlusal surface using a flame stone or a wheel stone, to perform occlusal clearance. Reduction will be performed on the mesial, distal, buccal, and lingual surfaces of the tooth Then roundation of the line angles will be performed. Impression for the preparation will be taken using putty and light poly vinyl siloxane material. The preparation will be optically scanned in the lab and the restoration will be digitally designed using computer designing software. The crown will be printed using 3D printer using hybrid resin material. Crown will be checked for proper fit and cemented to the tooth by self-etch adhesive.

Reduction will be performed on the occlusal surface using a flame stone or a wheel stone, to perform occlusal clearance by 1 mm. Reduction will be performed by 1 mm on the mesial, distal, buccal and lingual surfaces of the tooth. Impression for the preparation will be taken using putty and light poly vinyl siloxane material. Temporary crown will be placed above the preparation as temporisation.The impression will be sent to the lab .The preparation will be optically scanned in the lab and the restoration will be digitally designed using computer designing software.The crown will be printed using 3D printer using hybrid resin(micro-filled hybrid material) material.The 3d printed crown is cemented with resin cement.
The occlusal surface of the tooth should be reduced by about 1.5 mm, maintaining its occlusal contour or until the tooth is out of occlusion with adequate room to fit a crown.Proximally, tooth reduction will be made through the mesial and distal contact areas, then roundation of line angles to avoid the creation of ledges or steps.The crown selection will be done by trial and error or by measuring the mesiodistal dimension of the tooth space with dividers. It can also be helpful to measure the dimension of the contralateral tooth. A correctly fitting crown should snap or click at try in.

The clinical performance of 3d printed crowns versus prefabricated SSCs in compromised first permanent molars
Evaluation of clinical performance of both crowns regarding gingival health (gingival \& plaque index) and Fracture, retention, marginal discoloration and surface texture according to the modified United states Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria. 3,6-12 and 18 months.
Time frame: 3,6,12 and 18 months
Patient and parent satisfaction.
Parental and patient satisfaction will be assessed during the delivery session to determine their satisfaction level with 5-point Likert scale where 1-very dissatisfied; 2-dissatisfied; 3-neutrally satisfied; 4-satisfied; 5-very satisfied. Child's perception regarding their esthetics with crowns will be also considered in this study. Children will be asked to rank the crowns based on "Smiley Face Likert Scale."
Time frame: Immediately ,3,6,12&18 months
