Popis: Objective: the aim of this study was to present the versatility of bulk fill flow resin composite and regular resin composite used to restore mesio-distal space loss of a pediatric patient presenting caries lesions in the dental elements 74 and 75. Case Report: after treatment planning, restorative procedures with Bulk-fill composite and universal adhesive were performed in two visits, preceded by the use of orthodontic elastic rings to open interdental space between teeth to regain the needed space. Conclusion: the recovery of the space affected by caries is difficult to perform and it requires multiple dental office visits. However, when treatment is correctly conducted in association with new performed and allied to new technologies, it ensures the re-establishment of the arch length minimizing the sequels of caries disease.
