Maxillary expansion and protraction with facemask is an effective and widely used approach for Class III correction1 but it has limitations of the loss of dental anchorage.2 Recently skeletal anchorage treatment has been introduced for maxillary protraction.

In paediatric dentistry as in other dental specialties, digital technologies are replacing non-digital/analogue technologies for creating restorations and developing diagnostic scenarios toward the improvement of patient care. This article will explore the use of digital dentistry, including CAD/CAM, and its potential to become the dominant means of care in paediatric dentistry presenting with the digital workflow in fabrication of zirconia crown. Use of digital dentistry is likely to become more efficient and cost-effective for the treatment of young patients as the technology improves and the cost of equipment decreases.
