ABSTRACT
Dental esthetics is an integral part of facial esthetics. Esthetic problems in childhood and adolescence can have a significant effect on psychosocial development and interaction with peers. Esthetic restoration of primary anterior teeth can be especially challenging due to the small size of the teeth, close proximity of pulp to tooth surface, relatively thin enamel and surface area for bonding, issues related to child behavior and finally cost of the treatment. The advent of different techniques, devices, and materials helps in creating beautiful restorations which help children and adolescents improve their self-image.
