Résumé

Early childhood caries (ECC) continues to be a major global dental health concern for young children. This case report examines a young patient's transformation from decay to delight via comprehensive esthetic treatment. ECC in a four-year-old child resulted in significant dental caries and poor esthetics. In addition to space maintenance and orthodontic examination, essential treatments included dental extractions, stainless steel crowns, and composite restorations. The result showed that the child's smile and self-esteem had been successfully restored, as well as their oral health and function. This case emphasizes the value of early intervention, multidisciplinary teamwork, and individualized treatment plans in the management of early childhood caries and the restoration of pediatric patients' oral health.
