Primitive Resources for Dental Reposition – A Case Report - Abstract
Dental trauma is defined as a lesion of variable extension, intensity and gravity, of accidental or intentional origin, that may cause damages to the victims and bring prejudice to the quality of life of children and adolescents. The present case report refers to an adolescent that used prosthesis for ten years, sculpted by herself in cattle ribs, because she was not adequately attended by the health staff. Dental treatment consisted of removal of the remaining roots and installation of an immediate prosthesis and three months later, a final prosthesis was made. Dental clinicians should take a careful history when evaluating young patients, treating them in a humanistic way and protecting their rights as a priority group.
