Management of Open Bite with Single Incisor Extraction: A Case Report

Abstract

Maintenance of the primary dentition is important for the well-being of the child. The esthetic restoration of severely mutilated primary anterior
teeth has for a long time been a challenge for pediatric dentists. Nonpharmacological behavior-management techniques are primary techniques
for treating children in the dental chair. However, in very young children who are emotionally immature, these techniques cannot be applied.
Thus, to perform any dental treatment, pharmacological means are useful to obtain a quiescent cooperative patient. The purpose of this case
report is to highlight full mouth rehabilitation under general anesthesia in a pediatric patient.
Keywords: Early childhood caries, Esthetic rehabilitation, General anesthesia.
