Early Childhood Caries has been acknowledged as a root of severe decay in children at a global level. Most frequently we see involvement of upper incisors followed by the molars. This disturbs the phonetics and most importantly the aesthetics of the child. Over the years, there have been plenteous studies concerning the restoration of primary teeth. As the technology advanced, the level of parental satisfaction with the conventional stainless-steel crowns lowered, this made the Paediatric dentists to search for an aesthetic restoration for the decayed primary tooth. Treatment of decayed anterior teeth can be done by a variety of techniques which includes Strip crowns, Polycarbonate crowns, Cheng crowns, acrylic crowns, Zirconia crowns and the most recent is Figaro crowns. The advent of such advanced techniques and materials helps in creating beautiful restorations which help children to improve their self-image as the child aesthetics is the guide to the adult aesthetics. This article gives an overview of few of the aesthetic options for rehabilitation of ECC cases.
