Abstract

A four-year-old child was presented to the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of the Federal University, 21 days after an incident in which canine first and second primary molar teeth were avulsed, due to a trauma to the face. This was confirmed on radiological examination. The clinical examinations showed that tissues were normal. A removable space-maintaining dental-mucosa supported appliance was made in acrylic resin to replace the three missing teeth. After a period of eight months, the tissues were preserved, the device is helping the child to eat, to speak, and preserving the appearance of the patient. Radiograph examinations have shown that the first molar tooth and canine, first pre molar and second pre molar teeth are erupting normally.Trauma in primary dentition can cause psychological, morphological and functional problems. In the presented case the treatment was planned to recuperate the function and to avoid problems from the premature loss of primary teeth.
