This paper reports the case of a 5-year-old patient with early childhood caries (ECC) and presents an alternative prosthetic treatment with a tooth-supported overdenture. Primary canines were endodontically treated and received intraradicular posts with ball-type attachments to attach a tooth-supported overdenture. The patient was followed for 18 months both clinically and radiographically. In addition to esthetic and functional oral rehabilitation, the prosthetic treatment had an important psychological impact on recovery of patient's self-esteem.

Abstract Aim The purpose of this case report was to describe the oral rehabilitation of a 4-year-old girl presenting early childhood caries (ECC). Background ECC is highly prevalent in developing countries and its severity increases with age. This disease implies serious consequences for the development of the stomatognathic system and for the child's quality of life. As young children are usually anxious about dental treatment, their level of co-operation is limited, leading to a challenging situation. Case Report A 4-year-old girl was brought by her mother for dental treatment with the complaint of pain. The clinical examination revealed extensive carious coronary destructions. After preventive and curative measures, the oral rehabilitation was performed; it included the use of stainless steel crowns, resin filled celluloid crowns with previous cementation of glass post pins when necessary, an amalgam restoration, orthodontic treatment, and a partial removable prosthesis. The child has been monitored in the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic at 4-monthly intervals. Summary The oral rehabilitation was able to reestablish the oral health in the primary arches mutilated by early childhood caries. This is important for the establishment of an adequate mixed and permanent dentition, for proper facial and maxillary growth, and to the child's psychological and social development. Clinical Significance The full management, including preventive, psychological, and curative measures of a young child with severe ECC was found successful after 8 months of follow up. This result can encourage the clinicians to seek a cost-effective technique such as stainless steel crowns, resin filled celluloid crowns, and partial removable prosthesis to reestablish the oral functions and improve the child's psycho-social development.

ABSTRACT The aim of the current study is to present a treatment approach in a case of severe early childhood caries (ECC). A 5-year-old girl was referred to the Pediatric Dentistry Division with multiple premature tooth loss, masticatory difficulties, prolonged breast-feeding, and low quality of life, who was diagnosed with severe ECC. A three-phased treatment plan was implemented: 1. Disease control – consisting of behavioral changes in oral hygiene habits, diet guidance, professional biofilm removal followed by fluoride application and temporary restorations; 2. Infection control – teeth extractions and pulpotomy; and 3. Functional rehabilitation – direct and semi-indirect resin restorations, a removable partial and total prostheses in the lower and upper jaws, respectively. In conclusion, the proposed multidisciplinary approach resulted in a positive impact on the patient’s nutrition and growth, speech production, communication, self-image, and social functioning leading to an improved quality of life.

Introduction: Early childhood caries is one of the most prevalent, infectious, biolm-mediated, and transmissible childhood diseases with longterm progression and developmental implications that affect children worldwide. also Also known as baby bottle caries, baby bottle tooth decay, nursing bottle caries, nursing caries or rampant caries. , describes dental caries affecting children aged 0–71 months. For an effective prevention of early childhood caries, conducting a caries risk assessment and providing parental education within 6 months (but no longer than 12 months) of the child's rst tooth eruption is recommended and the theme of this project was to form a multidisciplinary team collaboration and create awareness to work in collaboration to prevent early childhood caries. Methods:All the multiple stakeholders in the care giving of infants and toddlers children are were involved in this awareness program, . . questionnaires Questionnaires relevant to the awareness were customized after validation to include all the proven etiologic factors that are proven to be etiologic to for early childhood caries in children. A total of 300 participants including mothers of infants, dental and medical students, gynecologist, pediatricians, pedodontist and asha ASHA workers were all evaluated assessed for awareness of etiologic factors and they were then educated with powerpoint presentations and video presentations on the etiologic factors and how to prevent early childhood caries. The post lecture sensitization was evaluated & compared by the post session questionnaires.Post test questionnaire was used to assess effectiveness of intervention. Results: A statistically signicant improvement (p < 0.05) was observed in the post awareness test scores for knowledge, attitude& practices of participantsthan the pre awareness test score. Compared to the pre awareness group results 75 (25%) there was signicant improvement in the post awareness group 269 (89.7%) was noted.The overall distribution of the post awareness session excellentscores were 89.7% and results were statistically signicant. Conclusion: Awareness is he mainstay in prevention of any diseases and early childhood caries being one of the devastating diseases that burdens the child and the parents physically, mentally, semotionally and nancially along with tooth pain, dental abscess, cellulitis and tooth loss leading to psychological impact ,speech disorders and spread of dental cries to permanent tooth needs to be stopped. As prevention is better than cure this kind of workshopscomprehensive interventetnions like these involving all the stakeholders of a child health will denitely empower them with more knowledge and skill to educate the mother and child to take precautions to prevent the diseases like early childhood caries.

Childhood Caries

Early Childhood Caries (ECC) continues to be one of the most common chronic diseases in children throughout the world, exerting a negative impact on quality of life. This condition can cause pain, infection, and tooth loss as well as problems with speaking, chewing, and nutrition. The aetiology of ECC is complex and involves socioeconomic, biological, and behavioural factors. Rehabilitation in very young patients is challenging due to difficulties inherent to the age of the child, which limits cooperation, the extent of tooth decay, and the motivation of family members, especially in patients with the early loss of primary teeth. Therefore, paediatric dentists need to plan and implement individualised approaches on a case-by-case basis. This paper reports a case of a three-year-old boy diagnosed with ECC involving extensive carious lesions, root remnants, and multiple abscesses. The treatment plan involved prosthetic rehabilitation with complete dentures. Regular check ups were important to the functional adaptations and proper hygiene counselling. The child adapted extremely well to the dentures. Improvements in appearance, speech, and chewing function enhanced the child’s self-confidence and assisted in establishing proper dietary patterns.
