Aesthetic reconstruction of non complicated crown fracture in a Down Syndrome patient. Case presentation

Abstract

The physical and psycho-motor characteristics present in Down syndrome patients provides a higher possibility to suffer from traumatic lesions in the oral cavity which cause affections from the functional, aesthetic and psychic point of views. Dental care to these patients should be differentiated since they require innovative techniques, training, agility and ability on the dentist part. This professional, in addition, should integrate to the family and be in contact with them since early ages. For these reasons a 14 year old Down syndrome patient is presented and a non-complicated crown fracture in which aesthetic and rehabilitating treatment could be conventionally developed.
