Even with all the preventive measures used in pediatric dentistry, early childhood caries is a problem outfaced day to day in pediatric dentistry which predominantly affects the labial surfaces of the anterior teeth in children younger than 71 months. The current study reports a case of aesthetic-functional restoration performed with the help of prefabricated strip crowns and composite in a 4-year-old female patient affected by multiple carious lesions in primary maxillary anterior teeth. Composite resin restorations were performed on all upper anterior teeth to restore aesthetics and function, offering a better quality of oral health for the child. The procedure of composite resin restorations with the help of strip crowns resulted in a shorter clinical time, a better aesthetic result, function and the restoration of the patients good smile.
