Early Childhood Caries (ECC) can be defined as the presence of one or more carious lesions, may or may not be cavitated, and missing teeth due to caries in children up to five years of age. It is multifactorial involving the presence of bacterial plaque, poor oral hygiene, frequency and time of consumption of beverages containing sugar. It has several deleterious effects like it can damage speech, swallowing, feeding, development, esthetics and self-esteem of the child. Therefore, complete oral rehabilitation in such patients is utmost important for their normal growth and development. The current case report involves the oral rehabilitation using different treatment options.

Introdução: A cárie severa da infância gera um impacto econômico, emocional e físico nas crianças e em suas famílias, além de determinar alterações funcionais, estéticas e comportamentais, as quais devem ser consideradas na efetivação de um tratamento odontológico eficaz. Objetivo: Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar um relato de caso clínico de reabilitação estética e funcional de um paciente infantil, do sexo masculino, 5 anos de idade, acometido por CSI, atendido na disciplina de Clínica Odontológica Infantil da Universidade Federal do Amazonas. Caso Clínico: Ao exame clínico e radiográfico, foram observadas lesões cariosas cavitadas nos elementos dentários 51,52,61,62 e 64, além de mancha branca ativa no 74. O tratamento proposto para este paciente incluiu orientação de hábitos de higiene bucal e dietéticos adequados, aplicações tópicas de flúor nas lesões cariosas ativas, necropulpectomia e restauração com resina composta fotopolimerizável. O dente 64, bem como nos dentes 51,52,61 e 62, severamente destruídos pela doença cárie, usando-se coroas de acetato. Conclusão: O tratamento mostrou-se bem sucedido, sendo possível sua realização em ambiente ambulatorial, permitindo restabelecer a função mastigatória e a estética do sorriso, além de promover a educação em saúde por meio da conscientização da criança/núcleo familiar acerca da importância do autocuidado na eliminação dos fatores etiológicos e no controle da doença cárie.

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.

KID syndrome is a rare genodermatosis characterized by keratitis, ichthyosis, and sensorineural deafness. Although the dermatological, ophthalmologic, and sensorineural defects are emphasized in the literature, oral and dental evaluations are so superficial. In this case report, dental and oral symptoms of a three year and five months old boy with KID syndrome, suffering severe Early Childhood Caries (s-ECC) and dental treatments done under General Anesthesia (GA) were reported.

Summary: Treatment of malocclusions at earlyages is more frequent in modern dentistry. The maxillar functional orthopaedics provides differenttherapeutic that facilitate the correction of malocclusion allowing patients to reach during childdevelopment. The functional orthopaedic devices allow the correction of different maxillaryalterations in a fast and efficient way. This is accompanied by integral and functional attention ofthe patient, to obtain the correction of the maloclussion. The Elastic Open Activator of Klammt(AAEK) was designed by George Klammt in Germany more than 50 years ago, and it is a good electionfor the early correction of the class II malocclusions supporting the treatment in right diagnosis.Key words: Early childhood caries.

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.

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.
