Advances in biomaterials and parental preferences have driven interest in esthetic full coverage treatment options for primary posterior teeth. The prefabricated resin crown offers a 'flex fit' adaptation over the anatomic cervical convexity of the primary clinical crown, similar in functionality to a stainless steel crown. A new commercial product, BioFlx, hopes to address the ductility, color stability and durability concerns that glass fiber-reinforced composite crowns have while maintaining the enticing clinical aspects, namely the flex fit, esthetic appearance and more conservative tooth preparation when compared to pediatric zirconia crowns.

The outcome assessment examined sedation visit effectiveness, sedation treatment completion, treatment time and medication administration to discharge time. Multivariable logistic regression analyses assessed predictive variables associated with sedation visit effectiveness. <b>Results:</b> Both three-drug combinations (MEP-H-(PO)-MID; MEP-H-(IN)-MID) were used for behavior guidance in children of a similar age (median age=7.1 and 6.5 years, respectively, for the two drug combinations) and weight (median weight = 23.7 and 23.5 kg, respectively, for the two drug combinations).
