Extracoronal Restorations in Primary Teeth

Restoring primary teeth affected by extensive caries is a critical aspect of pediatric dental practice. When extracoronal restorations are no longer sufficient, extracoronal restorations provide a reliable solution for preserving function, esthetics, and arch integrity until the natural exfoliation of the tooth. Understanding the indications, material selection, and clinical techniques involved is essential for achieving long-term success in young patients.

In this session, she will discuss the various types of full-coverage restorations available for primary teeth, while highlighting their clinical indications, advantages, and limitations. Furthermore, she will explore their evidence-based applications to help clinicians make informed treatment decisions. This IIDR session will also focus on case selection, treatment planning, procedural protocols, and practical tips to improve clinical outcomes and patient compliance.
