Figaro crowns- brings a smile or a frown?

Initially, the treatment option for grossly decayed teeth was extraction, but due to advancements in paediatric dentistry, it has now shifted to restoration. Earlier, only full-coverage stainless steel crowns were in use, but they have a disadvantage for aesthetic restorations. Following this many crowns have been introduced into paediatric dentistry to preserve the tooth for function and aesthetics. Investigators have argued that certain restorations are superior to others, yet the hunt for the ideal aesthetic restoration goes on. This case series aims to check the efficacy, aesthetics and ease of placement of the newly introduced Figaro crowns. This case series reports 4 cases in which Figaro Crowns were used for aesthetic full coronal restorations in children aged between 3- 6 years. Figaro crowns are time efficient, advantageous in uncooperative placement and can be done with minimal tooth structure reduction. Figaro crowns appear to be the alternative to zirconia crowns and strip crowns as they have superior aesthetics and minimal reduction of tooth structure, making them more time-saving compared to zirconia crowns.
