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.

상악 전치부 완전탈구를 주소로 내원한 지적 장애를 동반한 뇌병변 장애를 가진 25세 환자에서 재식 후 구치부 bite block을 추가한 vacuum-formed splint을 이용한 교합 안정술을 통하여, 외상 치아의 동요도 감소 및 교합안정을 이루는데 도움이 될 것으로 사료 된다.
