Esthetic Options for Anterior Primary Teeth - Characteristics

When caries seriously affects a primary molar, we can use stainless steel crowns that meet the retention and resistance requirements, that way we do not lose the occlusion.

But when the upper incisors are affected, we must take into account aesthetics when rehabilitating them. In pediatric dentistry, there are suitable options for the rehabilitation of upper incisors that meet all functional and aesthetic requirements.
