Restoration of primary maxillary incisors, severely destroyed by trauma or caries is a commonly faced problem in a Pediatric dental clinic. Most cases are observed in children with early childhood caries. In the past, the only option would have been to extract the affected teeth and replace them with prosthetic substitutes. Now these teeth are restored using various crowns e.g. stainless steel crowns, strip crowns, polycarboxylate crowns, resin veneered crowns etc.  However, cost becomes a main reason why these crowns are not being used more commonly. A newer method using PVS putty as template to restore these crowns is presented in this case series.
Keywords: Template method, Early childhood caries, Composite restoration, anterior aesthetic restoration.
