description | A 3 year old female patient with history of congenital hydrocephalus and epileptic episodes since a week was referred to the department from Dhiraj general hospital for dental opinion. The patient was non ambulatory. On initial clinical examination grade II mobility was present with lower anterior teeth along with lower lip laceration and an extra oral swelling on the left side of the face. Pharmacological management was opted for this patient as regular chair side management was not feasible. The necessary investigations were completed. When the patient was taken under general anaesthesia for treatment, a radical symptomatic and preventive treatment was opted. Such cases pose a challenge to the Pedodontist's decision making skills and must be dealt considering the long term health benefits. |
