Background
Until recently, stainless steel crowns are the most widely used restorations for permanent molars following endodontic treatment in children. This is due to their feasibility and cost-effectiveness, they are easy to prepare with less technique sensitivity . However, these restorations are not esthetically acceptable and serve only as long term temporary restorations that have to be replaced after several years . With the new era of digital dentistry and adhesive restorations , the use of intraoral scanners (IOSs) and computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) indirect restorations using overlays serve as an innovative, esthetic and durable substitute for stainless steel crowns.

Objectives This case report aims to highlight a new, durable and esthetic approach for restoring an endodontically treated first permanent molar in a nine-year old child using the digital workflow.
