Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Early childhood caries causing early loss of teeth resulting in compromised esthetics, function, and malocclusion is one of the dreaded but frequently encountered situations in pediatric patients. Here, we report a case in which extraction of badly carious primary anterior and posterior teeth was done followed by rehabilitation with removable space maintainer to establish esthetics and function in a five-year-old boy.
