Aim: The present study aims to evaluate the knowledge of pediatric dentists and their perceptions, knowing the difficulties they face in the challenge to rehabilitate deciduous teeth.
Methods: This study was carried out through the application of online questionnaires. The statistical analysis was descriptive and comparative, with frequency tables for the quantitative variables. The non-parametric chi-square test was used to estimate the association between the different categories of data, and the significance level was set at 5%.
Results: The survey results showed that most respondents know about prefabricated steel crowns, but their application in the care of children with extensive coronary destruction is limited to 34.1% of these professionals. The low use is due to the difficulty of acquiring the material and the lack of technical skills. It was found that 82.4% of the pediatric dentists have knowledge about prefabricated zirconia crowns, but the vast majority do not use them due to the difficulty of acquisition, their lack of technical skills, and the product’s high cost. No association was found between the difficulty of planning the cases and the esthetic consideration and sphere of work of the interviewee, nor regarding the fact of their having knowledge about the prefabricated crowns and using them.
Conclusion: It can therefore be concluded that rehabilitation materials, such as prefabricated steel and zirconia crowns, are well-known by pediatric dentists, but their use in the rehabilitation of deciduous teeth is still limited.
