TREATMENT OF AN IMMATURE, TRAUMATIZED PERMANENT TOOTH OF A PATIENT WITH CEREBRAL PALSY : A CASE REPORT

Traumatic dental injury (TDI) is a common problem in children and adolescent. The prevalence of dental trauma among children with disability as compared to healthy children. The TDI of an immature permanent tooth can lead to the loss of pulp vitality and arrested root development. Traditionally, the treatment of choice for necrotic immature tooth is apexification, which is induction of hard tissue barrier at the apex to produce more favorable conditions for conventional root canal filling. This case report describes the treatment of a necrotic immature permanent central incisor with complicated crown fracture. The patient had multiple disabilities (cerebral palsy, congenital heart disease, devel-opmental delay, and gait disturbance) and suffered from She was suffered from repetitive traumatic injury. Apexification and resin restoration was performed under general anesthesia, and favorable clinical results were achieved. [ J Korean Dis Oral Health Vol.12, No.2: 72-76, December 2016 ] Abstract
