An alternative aesthetic restoration for extensive coronal destruction in primary molars: indirect restorative technique with composite resin

The indirect restorative technique with composite resin has presented efficient results when used in pri-mary teeth. This technique enables the oral rehabilitation. Based on the results presented in the litera-ture concerning clinical performance, this technique is presented as an alternative treatment to the pri-mary teeth with extensive decay by showing a case of rehabilitation of primary molars. The oral reha-bilitation using indirect resin composite restoration showed an important concept to be applied in pri-mary dentition due to feasible, low cost, and lower chairside time.
