Treating a Dentoalveolar Fracture in a Four-Year-Old Girl With a Functional Removable Partial Denture.

ABSTRACT

In children and young adults, traumatic dental injuries are common. Children's tooth loss is mostly caused by dentoalveolar trauma. Owing to anatomical variations and developmental phases, treating such injuries is difficult. Trauma to deciduous teeth might harm the permanent tooth beneath; however, trauma to permanent teeth can worsen their long-term outlook. An alveolar segment trauma may result in the irreversible loss of dental tissues, malalignment, and deformity. The periodontium and pulpal tissues suffer significant harm as a result of this. In the current case, there was a segmental cortical fracture in the mandible of a four-year-old girl child.
