Pediatric digital dentistry incorporates computer-aided designing and manufacturing of the crowns which enhances their marginal and internal adaptation. This allows the application of newer materials for the fabrication of crowns. Most importantly, digital workflow makes the procedure easy and comfortable for pediatric patients. The objective of this case series was to evaluate the clinical appearance and success of custom-made esthetic crowns for pediatric population. The case series presents two cases of PMMA crowns using subtractive manufacturing and two of photopolymer resin crowns using additive manufacturing. Both subtractive manufacturing and additive manufacturing have shown better marginal integrity and improved aesthetics in this case series. According to the current literature available and the present case series, these crowns have good biocompatibility, are esthetic, and more importantly relatively inexpensive.
