Abstract

Pediatric dentists face significant challenges when dealing with the aesthetic concerns of severely damaged primary anterior teeth due to early childhood caries, which is the most common chronic disease among preschool children. The cases presented here involves children under 4 years of age with severely decayed maxillary anterior teeth. Following pulp therapy treatment, various posts including modified omega posts, glass fiber posts, and prefabricated post and core systems were used to reinforce the primary maxillary incisors, followed by composite restoration to rebuild the teeth. This technique provides a straightforward and efficient approach of restoring severely decayed primary anterior teeth, restoring their shape, function, and aesthetics effectively.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
