Summary: The aim of this article is to present an additional alternative to restore the
anterior zone, using crowns of steel chromium with a ceromer aesthetic front by means of Art-glass®.
It is presented a clinical report of a masculine patient of 1 year 10 months of age, with early
childhood dental caries, with coronal destruction of the four deciduous superior incisors. The
treatment planning consisted of pulpar treatment with pulpectomy and endodontic obturation with
Vitapex®, two pulpotomies and the restoration of these with steel chromium crowns with Art-glass®.
These crowns are an excellent option for an aesthetic restoration, because of its great variety of
colors, its easy manufacture, and being an indirect technique allows leaving a free space of ceromer
to obtain a good coronal adjustment. Key words: Crowns. Deciduous anterior teeth. Veneered crowns.
Esthetic restorative. Art-glass®. Stainless steel crowns.
