Abstract

Introduction: dental injuries represent one of the most serious oral health problems in children and adolescents. They are rare in the first year of life and increase when the child begins to walk and run. Patients with Down syndrome have psycho-motor and physical characteristics that make them more susceptible to traumatic injuries in the oral cavity.

Case report: 16-year-old male patient with Down syndrome who suffered an uncomplicated crown fracture, he underwent to an esthetic and restorative treatment with a direct layered composite restoration technique. This procedure allowed the achievement of an aesthetic result with a very natural finish, recovering the size of the dental piece without the need to carve it.

Conclusions: a successful conventional treatment of an uncomplicated crown fracture was achieved in a patient with Down syndrome having a favorable prognosis, taking into account that, in Dentistry specialty as in any other branch of medical sciences, it is necessary to assess the particularities of each individual and to link other specialties such as Psychology and Medicine in the comprehensive treatment of these patients, in order to reach quality care.
