ABSTRACT:Loss of anterior teeth in children can lead to hampered esthetics, decreased masticatory efficiency, speech disturbance, development of parafunctional habits and psychological problems. With the growing awareness of the esthetic options available, there is a greater demand for solutions to problems such as caries, discolored teeth, hypoplastic defects, fractures and missing teeth in children. There are different types of restorations for complete crown coverage like polycarbonate crowns, stainless steel crown (SSC), open–faced SSC with veneer placed on chair side, commercially veneered SSC, Figaro crowns and Zirconia crowns. This article presents an overview of zirconia crowns in Pedodontics and a case report of full coronal restoration using zirconia crowns.
