participation in the study. The children were clinically examined and the questionnaire for parent satisfaction was administered. Data was collected and subjected to statistical analysis. Results: The parental satisfaction with the colour of Figaro
crowns was superior and was statistically significant (p=0.01). None of the parents were dissatisfied with the shape of the
crown in both the crowns. All the parents in Figaro crown group were either satisfied or very satisfied with the size of the
crown. With reference to the children’s overall rating score, 100% of the children were satisfied with Figaro crowns whereas
