 Caries is one of the most common infectious diseases in childhood, the treatment of which in children varies according to the extent of the lesion and the child's behavior. Among the various treatments, the use of prefabricated metal crowns or (SSC) is extending rapidly. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the applications of these crowns and their advantages and disadvantages. The data used in this review was extracted from articles searched in web pages such as Scopus, PubMed and google scholar. After reviewing the abstracts, the full text of the articles related to the topic was reviewed. Due to the high prevalence of caries in deciduous teeth and the prevention of complications due to premature loss of deciduous teeth, nowadays the use of stainless steel crowns that have high durability and longevity is very widespread. Most clinical articles have recommended the use of these crowns due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
