Abstract EN
The aim of the present article is to review the etiological risk factors and the general and oral management of anterior disc displacement with reduction caused by a chin trauma, and to describe the diagnostic process and the treatment provided to an affected 7-year-old girl.
The patient also experienced frequent and severe cephaleas, which may be related to cervical vertebrae deviation.
The patient was successfully treated with an intraoral occlusal splint and analgesics.
Pediatric dentists must always be aware of the early signs and symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders in their patients, especially in cases of orofacial trauma history, with the aim of providing an opportune resolution and preventing its progression later in life.
Occlusal splints are strongly recommended for the treatment of anterior disc displacement with reduction in children and adolescents.
