Abstract
|
|
|
|
Reposition and splinting has been widely recommended when clinicians treat traumatically dislocated tooth. This case represents stabilization of traumatized tooth in a cerebral palsy patient who failed resin wire splint because of parafunctional oral habit and lack of cooperation. Clinically, mobility of traumatized tooth decreased due to stabilization using vacuum-formed splint with posterior occlusal block in 2 weeks. Vacuum-formed splint may be a simple and effective stabilization technique for traumatized tooth in a cerebral palsy patient.
