Abstract: 

Dental caries is most common childhood disease which affects children in their very early stages of development. This severe form of caries is also associated with the deleterious effects like difficulties in phonation, mastication and altered esthetics. Restoration of primary maxillary incisors severely damaged by rampant caries or trauma is a clinical challenge in pediatric dental clinics. In the past, the only treatment option would have been to extract the affected teeth and replace them with prosthetic substitutes. With the introduction of new adhesive systems and restorative materials, alternative approaches in treating these teeth have been proposed. This paper presents the clinical sequence of rehabilitation of maxillary anterior primary teeth. Endodontic treatment was followed by the placement of a glass fibre-reinforced composite resin post. The crown reconstruction was done with composite restoration.
