Abstract

Restoration of severely decayed primary teeth is a clinical challenge in Pediatric Dentistry. Among the restora-tive treatment options, the use of prefabricated crowns and resin composite restorations, either by means of

direct or indirect techniques is mentioned in the literature. The purpose of this article is to describe the rehabil-itation of primary anterior teeth in a 5-year-old patient. Dental treatment consisted on an anterior space main-tainer prosthesis made with natural primary teeth, plus human dental enamel veneer (facet) restorations. The advantages of this technique are better esthetics and the natural enamel has physiologic wear and offers super-ficial smoothness and cervical adaptation compatible with those of the surrounding teeth.
