The use of precrimped stainless steel crowns on primary molars leads to an insignificant, clinically acceptable irritation of the gingiva in the primary and mixed dentition. Precrimped crowns on first permanent molars, however, can only be judged safe until the age of 15 in patients. To avoid alveolar bone loss, stainless steel crowns should be replaced by perfectly fitting cast crowns.
