Would a child be referred to a prosthodontist for the placement of a stainless steel crown?

Yes
No
Only if it is a permanent tooth
Only in case of dental injuries

The correct answer is: No

A prosthodontist is a specialist in restoring and replacing teeth. While they may place stainless steel crowns as part of their treatment plan, they are not the only dental professional who can perform this procedure. Dentists who specialize in pediatric dentistry, general dentistry, or endodontics may also place stainless steel crowns as needed. Therefore, the answer is no - a child would not necessarily be referred to a prosthodontist for the placement of a stainless steel crown as other dental specialists may also be able to perform this procedure. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they limit the placement of stainless steel crowns to only one type of dentist, whereas the correct answer acknowledges that multiple types of dental professionals may be able to perform this procedure.
