Abstract:
Premature loss of primary teeth could be treated with different options. In this case report, a 4-year-old girl was referred to our
pediatric dentistry clinic for the treatment of dental trauma and pain. In clinical and radiographical evaluation, mobility in both
primary maxillary central incisors, inflamed marginal gingival tissues, swelling of upper lip and a root fracture were detected. Both
primary maxillary central incisors were extracted and anterior edentulous space was provisionally restored using extracted primary
teeth crowns in a fixed appliance. Parents and patients’ satisfaction levels were evaluated before and after treatment. The fixed
appliance was still healthy after a follow-up examination period of 12 months. Parents and patients’ satisfaction levels were
approximately very satisfied. This case report presents an alternative treatment option - functional, esthetic and satisfactory for
parents and patient- for the treatment of the premature loss of traumatized primary maxillary central incisors.
