Abstract

Rata Rokhshad

This case study presents the management of dental trauma in a pediatric patient, detailing the initial presentation, diagnostic evaluation, treatment approach, and outcomes. Dental trauma in children requires specialized care to ensure optimal growth and development of permanent teeth. This report highlights the challenges and strategies involved in treating such cases, emphasizing the importance of early intervention and multidisciplinary collaboration in achieving favorable outcomes. Dental trauma in pediatric patients presents unique challenges due to the developing dentition and the psychological impact on young patients. This case study examines the management of dental trauma in a 7-year-old male patient who suffered a complicated crown fracture of the maxillary central incisors following a playground accident. Immediate clinical assessment revealed pulp exposure and significant pain, necessitating urgent intervention. Treatment involved a multidisciplinary approach, including endodontic therapy, dental restorative procedures, and psychological support to alleviate anxiety and ensure optimal oral health outcomes. Long-term follow-up demonstrated successful healing and functional restoration, highlighting the importance of prompt and comprehensive management in pediatric dental trauma cases.
