The early childhood caries refers to the presence of one or more decayed, lost or restored surfaces in deciduous teeth in children under 6 years, being classified as severe when it affects children under 3 years of age. In deciduous teeth with several coronal destruction due to dental caries but with root integrity, rehabilitation can be complex due to the quality and/or quantity of the remaining structure. The aim of this case was to report the rehabilitation of four deciduous incisors severely affected by early childhood caries using fiberglass posts and direct restorations with composite resin. A three-year-old male patient with active and cavitated dental caries lesions and pulpal necrosis in the four upper deciduous incisors. In the hygienic phase, activities in education and motivation in oral hygiene were carried out; in the corrective phase, endodontic treatments were performed, cementation of glass fiber posts and were made restorations with composite resin using anatomical celluloid matrices; in the maintenance phase, the patient received support and reinforcement of the recommendations in the diet and the oral hygiene. The rehabilitation using fiber posts and composite resin reestablished the shape, function and esthetics of the teeth of the patient.
