Reabilitação protética oral e ocular em paciente pediátrico politraumatizado: Relato de caso

Abstract

Prosthetic rehabilitation plays a fundamental role in the aesthetic and functional restoration of patients who have suffered tooth and mechanical loss due to trauma. This article presents a clinical case report of a 7-year-old pediatric patient, victim of a car accident, treated at the Hospital de Clínicas and the Dental Hospital of the Federal University of Uberlândia, who required rehabilitation with removable partial dental prostheses and an ocular prosthesis. The treatment was performed in sessions, following a structured clinical protocol with obtaining study models through molding; preparation of a test base, ocular occlusal registration and aesthetic selection of artificial teeth, and iris coloring. The prostheses were made in the laboratory by means of pressing, and the prostheses were installed, with a gradual adaptation of the patient. The final delivery included guidance on hygiene and maintenance, in addition to periodic monitoring to assess the adaptation. The case highlights the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in the prosthetic rehabilitation of pediatric patients, promoting aesthetic, functional and psychosocial recovery, in addition to highlighting the relevance of detailed documentation and personalized planning for successful treatment.
