Abstract

Prosthodontic treatment of developmental age patients presents a significant challenge to the dentist. The growth and development of the stomatognathic system must be considered in treatment planning. Temporary prosthetic restorations must be regularly inspected and recemented, and final prosthetic restoration should not be delivered until the growth of the body is complete. In addition, due to the complex nature of morphological and functional disorders during the developmental period, simultaneous prosthetic and orthodontic treatment may be required. The case presented in this article is a 16-year-old boy with severe tooth destruction caused by untreated caries disease and poor oral hygiene. The patient required conservative, endodontic, and surgical treatment to restore the occlusion and aesthetics to allow the proper development of the masticatory organ. This article also presents the treatment case of a young patient with damaged crowns in the upper arch, which were restored with standard root-crown posts and cores and temporary 3D-printed composite crowns.
