Abstract

Aim: The present research was conducted to assess the microleakage of stainless steel crowns along with pedo jacket crowns following cementation with different luting cements. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 deciduous teeth subjected to extraction were employed in this in vitro research. These 60 specimens were randomly divided into two groups: Group I: Stainless steel crowns and Group II: Pedo Jacket crowns. Both crowns were subjected to cementation using self-cure resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) cement as well as by means of self-adhesive universal resin cement (RelyX luting cement). The specimens were subjected to storage in distilled water at 37°C for 24 h and were subjected to 500 thermal cycles between 5°C and 55°C using a dwell span of 30 s. Individual surfaces were assessed for the amount of dye infiltration at the boundaries by the side of the tooth-cement border beneath a stereomicroscope under 50× magnifying power. At the mesial and distal surfaces, the amount of microleakage was measured in micrometers (μm), and the mean value was computed for each sample. Results: Stainless steel crowns subject to cementation with RelyX luting cement exhibited the lowest microleakage (0.88 ± 0.78) versus self-cure RMGI cement (0.94 ± 0.78). There was no statistically significant difference found between the groups. Pedo Jacket crowns subject to cementation with RelyX luting cement exhibited the lowest microleakage (0.96. ± 0.32) while self-cure RMGI cement (1.83 ± 0.16) depicted the maximum microleakage. There was an extremely statistically noteworthy dissimilarity noted among the groups. Conclusion: The current research concluded that Pedo Jacket crowns subjected to cementation with RelyX luting cement can be regarded as an esthetically pleasing restorative alternative for numerous young patients. Applying RelyX luting cement to Pedo Jacket crowns provides a strong bolstering by composite materials that ensures the success of the therapy provided.
