Bioflx preformed crowns combine esthetics and minimal preparation. Aim To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of Bioflx preformed crowns in restoring primary molars in children aged 4–8 years at Ho Chi Minh City Odonto‐Maxillofacial Hospital in Vietnam. Design A single‐arm pilot observational study (October 2023–June 2024) at Ho Chi Minh City Odonto‐Maxillofacial Hospital involved primary molars treated with Bioflx crowns. Variables included clinical features and treatment outcomes, using descriptive statistics and an unpaired t ‐test. Results Forty primary molars from 17 children were treated (mean 2.35 ± 1.62 crowns/child). Most were first molars (55%), lower right quadrant (30%), with caries (65%). At the 3‐month follow‐up, 90% were rated as “excellent” masticatory ability, with 100% of “excellent” esthetics and restoration integrity, while 95% of crowns had “excellent” marginal adaptation, along with 92.5% healthy surrounding gums. Conclusion Short‐term evaluation suggests Bioflx preformed crowns may be a promising new, flexible, and durable treatment option for primary molar restoration considering both esthetic and masticatory function. Yet, longer follow‐up studies with control groups remain necessary for the long‐term clinical evaluation to ensure a comprehensive approach for pediatric patients. Trial Registration The study received permission for implementation from the Board of Directors of Ho Chi Minh City Odonto‐Maxillofacial Hospital and Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy, which has also been confirmed in the document issued by the Ethics Council for Biomedical Research (23.341.HV/PCT‐HĐĐĐ) signed on April 12, 2023 10.1111/ipd.70039 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
