Brief summary

Treatment of severely decayed anterior primary teeth has been a real challenge for pediatric dentists. This research aims to evaluate an innovative method to restore these case. These teeth are enodontically treated and divided randomly into the 4 groups; 1-Group A contains teeth restoring by traditional composite with intracanal composite supporting post, 2-Group B includes teeth restoring by direct glass-fiber reinforced composite. 3-Group C contains teeth restoring by using pre-fabricated metal ringed posts and composite as a final restoration, 4-Group D includes teeth restoring by using pre-fabricated glass-fiber reinforced composite ringed posts and composite as a final restoration. Clinical failure criteria: 1- The lack of permanence of the restoration 2- Pain spontaneously or upon examination: palpation - percussion 3- Symptoms of endodontic failure such as abscess - fistula – euphoria Clinical failures are classified and the cause of failure determined in participants but they are not listed in the outcomes. A value of 1 is given for success and a value of 0 for failure.

Interventions

new technique to restore endodontically treated primary anterior teeth using self-designed posts made of glass-reinforced composite (group D) and nickle-chrome discs (group C), and also the direct fiber-reinforced composite (group B). these techniques will be delivered by pedodontics. the approximate duration of these procedures 20-30 minutes. the longevity of treatments will be monitor by clinical check up.
