Abstract

Early childhood caries is a multifactorial disease that severely degrades the primary maxillary incisors and molars in a child aged 71 months or younger. It can cause reduced masticatory efficiency, loss of vertical dimension, development of speech problems, esthetic-functional problems such as malocclusion and space loss, and psychological problems that can compromise the behavioral development of the child. The treatment of severely decayed primary teeth presents a special challenge to pediatric dentists. The present case report describes the oral rehabilitation of a 5-year-old male patient with type II ECC whose teeth were restored using various treatment modalities including preformed space maintainers, preformed zirconia crowns, fiber post, SSC, pulpectomies and composite restorations.
