Case report: This report was written following the CARE Statement. A 6-year-old girl attended the Pediatric Dental Clinic complaining about bullying due to appearance her teeth. The reanatomization of the conoid-shaped deciduous incisors was done with direct composite resin using preformed acetate crowns. After 15 months, the deciduous incisors had exfoliated and the permanent incisors erupted also with a conoid shape. For aesthetic rehabilitation, direct composite restorations were performed using the incremental technique guided by a silicone matrix made based on the diagnostic wax-up. Conclusion: In the follow-up, the patient and guardians reported satisfaction with appearance of her smile and an increased self-esteem. The case remains under follow-up and future planning will include orthodontics and prosthodontics.
