Abstract
The exquisite bother of fiercely mutilated deciduous anterior human teeth in the case of early childhood caries has always been a matter of interest to pediatric dentistry.
Aim: The objective of this case series was to illustrate the different posts and core build in severely damaged primary maxillary anterior teeth. So here we presents the case report series of three different post systems that is omega shaped post, prefabricated metal post, composite resin post followed by using varies esthetic crowns.
Omega post performed better gluing of wire & dentinal walls as they bond mechanically. If the adaptation of wire in between the internal walls is insufficient, then leads to expulsion and simultaneously immoderate masticatory forces cause radicular fracture of the tooth. The conventional prefabricated metal post is widely being used as it is low-cost, fast to use, easily available, not technique sensitive and simple. Because of their budding interference with physiologic resorption of the primary teeth it is not commonly used in pediatric dentistry.
Composite resin post gives result of finish satisfactory esthetics, but has the property of owing to polymerization contraction.
Conclusion: The technique which we have recounted here gives a straightforward with manageable method for restoration of severely decayed primary anterior teeth that reinstate their uses, shapes, and aesthetics. The patients and their parents or guardians were urged to follow a healthy diet and maintain good cleanliness. They were also urged to come in for frequent check-ups at 6, 12, and 18-month intervals.
