Prosthetics in Paediatric Dentistry - Article in PDF

The loss of one or more primary teeth can be due to extensive cavities (bottle caries) or to a fracture involving the tooth root (dental trauma). The absence of these teeth generates a series of problems in the occlusion and aesthetics of the child.

The migration of the adjacent teeth, the loss of the alveolar bone and poor occlusion are some of the problems caused by missing teeth. The pediatric patient should undergo radiographic examinations and evaluated by the pediatric dentist and orthodontist.

Anterior dental esthetics in primary teeth - Oral Rehabilitation

When you want to rehabilitate a primary tooth that has been affected by a fracture or extensive dental caries, some characteristics must be taken into account, such as the small size of the tooth and the large size of the dental pulp.

Primary teeth can be affected by bottle tooth decay, or by hypoplastic defects, and in some cases by bruxism. The restoration technique as the aesthetic material to rehabilitate the tooth will be chosen after a correct evaluation by the professional.

Pulp Cap and Pulpotomy in Pediatric Trauma Cases

Dental trauma can affect the tooth at different levels, even leading to the total loss of the tooth. When the trauma affects the dental pulp, the case should be evaluated to determine what treatment should be performed.

When the dental pulp is compromised by a lesion, a pulpectomy, pulpotomy or pulp capping can be performed. The objective of these treatments is to keep the primary tooth in the mouth.
