Traumatogenic Occlusion in a Pediatric Dental Patient: A Case Report

AIM AND OBJECTIVE: This case report aims to describe the management of mandibular anterior teeth subjected to occlusal trauma. BACKGROUND: Occlusal trauma occurs as a result of reduced ability of the tissues to resist the occlusal forces most likely as a result of masticatory system dysfunction abnormal contact of the teeth, and prosthetic or orthodontic treatments that create occlusal interferences. CASE DESCRIPTION: This paper describes a case of traumatogenic occlusion seen in the dentition of a 13-year-old female patient and its management by stabilization, endodontic, and orthodontic therapy. CONCLUSION: The removal of the anomalous occlusal forces and stabilization of the affected teeth is the most relevant therapy for teeth affected by trauma from occlusion (TFO). CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Periodic monitoring of developing occlusion contributes to preventive care and encourages the maintenance of a healthy periodontium.
