Supply of extensively destroyed primary molars with preformed stainless steel crowns has been a method approved for decades and can be carried out in practice without taking a lot of time and financial costs. Maintenance and reconstruction of primary anterior teeth by ready made or individually manufactured crowns is necessary also for phonetic reasons. Depending on the grade of destruction of the clinical crown different possibilities for restoration are available: that is for the group of preformed types pedoformstripcrowns, polycarbonate crowns and stainless steel crowns with a composite facing, and for the group of individual manufactured crowns as resin crowns and short-pin crowns.
