Nowadays, zirconium crowns have created a huge demand, they are used for early childhood caries treatment, that’s why they have generated a lot of controversy about their future adverse effects because actually aesthetics plays a very important role. The aim was to present a clinical case of a patient in primary teeth with diagnostic of early childhood caries, using as a restorative material zirconium crowns in upper molars and incisors, to describe if any anatomical modification was presented Case report: Patient of 3 years and 2 months old who goes to the department of Pediatric Dentistry of the DEPeI of the Faculty of Dentistry, UNAM. The reason of the consultation is referred by his mother "Cavities and black spots in the front teeth."
