Management of a pediatric patient with dental anomalies and its effect on psychosocial status: a case report.

Managing multiple dental anomalies in the anterior region of the dental arch presents unique and complex challenges. This case report describes using a multidisciplinary approach to manage a child with not only a fused tooth with a supernumerary but also the presence of other supernumerary teeth in the same place. In this case, deviation from the standard management of a fused permanent anterior tooth, an anchor for aesthetics, by extracting it because of crown root complexity and allowing a supernumerary to erupt into its place made the difference in the successful outcome.

Responsiveness of the Arabic version of the ECOHIS to dental rehabilitation under general anaesthesia.

Background: The Arabic version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (A-ECOHIS) has been validated, but its ability to detect change was not tested.

Aim: To evaluate the responsiveness of the A-ECOHIS to dental rehabilitation under general anaesthesia (DRGA).

Design: A consecutive sample of 131 parents of children aged 6 years or younger, scheduled for DRGA were recruited from three public hospitals.
