ABSTRACT
Early childhood caries is a major global health issue that affects the oral health of infants and children negatively. Therefore, it should be addressed in the primitive stages. Silver diamine fluoride is a material that is effective in arresting the dental caries progression and thus, it is useful in halting the spread of the disease. Esthetic management of grossly decayed primary maxillary anterior teeth requiring full coronal coverage restoration is usually challenging to the pediatric dentists especially in young children. Over the years, many esthetic options have been used with each having its own advantages, disadvantages and associated technical, functional and esthetic limitations. Zirconia crowns have been used as a treatment alternative to address the esthetic concerns and ease of placement of extra-coronal restorations on primary anterior teeth. The present article presents a case where grossly decayed maxillary primary incisors were treated endodontically and restored esthetically and functionally with preformed zirconia crowns. Dealing with esthetic needs in children with extensive loss of tooth structure, using zirconia crowns would be practical and successful. The treatment described is simple and effective; it represents a promising alternative for rehabilitation of decayed primary teeth.
