Mesiodistal Width in Temporary Molars of Chilean Children of Concepción and his Correlation with Standard Preformed Steel Crowns

Metallic preformed steel crowns are the best treatment choice to restaurate extense cavities in temporary molars. To achieve optimal results it is necessary to know the mesiodistal width of the temporary teeth involved. We currently use other population’s data regarding mesiodistal width,...
