Abstracts
While the prevalence of caries has decreased worldwide, it still remains the major oral health problem for children and adolescents. Studies have demonstrated that the presence of non-treated cavitated carious lesions is the major cause of pain in the primary dentition that ultimate leads to tooth loss. The restorative treatment of caries-affected primary teeth and its maintenance in the dental arch until its physiological exfoliation is justified by functional, esthetic, and self-esteem reasons. Based on the philosophy of minimal intervention dentistry, this chapter deals with restorative esthetic techniques for posterior and anterior primary teeth and aims to give support to clinicians to produce more predicted and patient-friendly restorations.
