Abstract
Background: The prosthetic reconstruction of the anterior deciduous teeth with fiberglass posts and indirect crowns can restore the function and aesthetics of these teeth after great coronal destruction, preventing their early loss, and allowing the child to chew correctly and speak appropriately, in addition to improving the appearance of the smile. Although deciduous teeth are temporary teeth, they play a fundamental role in the child's oral health, craniofacial growth, and dentition development, as they guide the eruption of permanent teeth.
Objective: This paper exposes the treatment of a toddler who presented at Nove de Julho University Dental Clinic with early childhood caries, accompanied by facial edema related to tooth 52 (D).
Method: This patient was treated respecting the three phases of the treatment plan; after urgence and contamination reduction in the oral cavity, with preventive procedures, endodontics, and ATR (atraumatic treatment restoration) caries removal, in phase 1; the glass ionomer was partially removed, and teeth were restored with dental composite, the anterior teeth were reconstructed with fiber posts and lithium disilicate crowns in phase 2; then in phase 3 periodic appointments monitored relapses or failures, and the emergence of permanent successors.
Conclusion: The rehabilitation of anterior deciduous teeth with fiberglass posts and lithium disilicate crowns is a restorative therapy that preserves space for the permanent teeth, while the primary teeth are kept in position and exfoliate naturally.
