Case Presentation: The complaint was the appearance of their teeth and dentin sensitivity, being observed on clinical examination visible plaque and calculus. First, it was proposed the adequacy of the oral cavity, with gingival scraping, oral health education  and fluorid varnish. Acetate crowns with resin-modified glass ionomer were made to restore aesthetics and function, in order to postpone the permanent rehabilitation of permanent dentition. After treatment the patient reported improvement in self-esteem and motivation for social activities. Conclusion: By using this approach in this case report it was concluded that the use of glass ionomer with acetate crown technique is a rehabilitation resource with minimal intervention, function and self-esteem to the patient.
