“…The restoration of grossly destruction maxillary incisors affected by early childhood caries has continued to be a major challenge for a pediatric dentist due to the insufficient amount of tooth structure available for bonding and behavioral problems in young children. 8 In those larger lesions where little dental structure is left, conventional restorative procedures have been unsatisfactory and result in the use of prosthodontics appliances. In severely mutilated incisors where there is the involvement of pulpal tissue, pulpectomy has to be carried out and intracanal retention is necessary which allows building a post and core and then cementing an artificial crown.…”

Early childhood caries is indeed a devastative situation for both patients’ parents and pediatric dentists. The primary goal in treating severe early childhood caries is to restore normal function such as maintenance of mesiodistal and vertical dimension, prevention of alteration of mastication, phonetics (due to premature loss), development of parafunctional habits, and prevention of psychological problems affecting the self-esteem of a child. The restoration of primary dentition with extensive carious lesions is a complex clinical challenge of several dimensions. The severity of this condition in maxillary anterior teeth has prompted the extraction of teeth due to inadequate esthetic treatment options. The only concern with the severely destructed primary incisors is a lack of crown structure, which fails to support and adhere to a composite crown. Clinicians have preferred many restorative modalities for esthetic rehabilitation of badly decayed anterior primary teeth with numerous root canal retentive post and core systems with appropriate techniques to preserve those teeth until they are replaced by permanent teeth. This review highlights the various posts, their indications, principles, ideal properties, and the current concepts on their use in pediatric dentistry.
