PEDO assigmemt Anterior posts of mutilated primary anterior teeth he healthy oral cavity is a primary requisite for beautiful looks. Despite the fact that it is largely preventable, dental caries is the most common chronic disease of childhood [1]. Caries in very young children known as early childhood caries may be defined according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry “as the presence of one or more decayed, missing (due to caries), or filled tooth surfaces in any primary tooth in a child 71 months of age or younger” [2]. Clinical examination of this condition discloses a distinctive pattern, and the teeth most often involved are the maxillary central incisors, lateral incisors, and the maxillary and mandibular 1st primary molars. The maxillary primary incisors are the most severely affected with deep carious lesions usually involving the pulp. In extreme cases, early childhood caries can even lead to total loss of the crown structure. Until very recently, the only treatment option for early childhood caries has been extraction of the affected primary anterior tooth, which resulted in severe coronal destruction.
The early loss of primary anterior teeth may result in reduced masticatory efficiency, loss of vertical dimension, development of parafunctional habits (tongue thrusting, speech problems), esthetic-functional problems such as malocclusion and space loss, and psychologic problems that can interfere in the personality and behavioral development of the child [3].
Aesthetic requirement of severely mutilated primary anterior teeth in the case of early childhood caries has been challenge to pediatric dentist. Among restorative treatment options, prefabricated crown and biological and resin composite restoration either by means of direct or indirect technique are mentioned in the literature. A post and core is a dental restoration used to sufficiently build up tooth structure for future restoration with a crown
