Abstract
Highlights problems concerning the low level of restorative care provided for carious primary teeth in general practice. Presents audit data from a single GDP of a simplified method of placing preformed metal crowns, which does not involve LA or tooth preparation of any kind. Although the technique looks promising, the need for prospective randomised clinical trials before the technique is adopted, is stressed.Keywords
