Pediatric dental crowns play an integral role as they maintain the form and function and prolong the life of the affected tooth. However, placing a crown in the oral cavity creates a new niche for the adhesion of microorganisms that can lead to plaque accumulation, gingival inflammation, and the development of secondary caries, which in the long term might determine the clinical success of the restored tooth. The present study allowed us to assess the changes caused by the full coverage restorations at a clinical, immunological, and microbiological level using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and microbial analysis.
