Dr. Savitha Sathyaprasad, Dr. Maria Johncy

Abstract: ECC can be a particularly aggressive type of caries that starts shortly after dental eruption, grows on smooth surfaces, advances quickly, and negatively affects the dentition for a long time. Full - mouth rehabilitation for Early Childhood Caries (ECC) involves addressing all affected teeth in a child's mouth, to restore function, aesthetics, and oral health. This is a challenge due to the severity of the decay and the difficulty in managing young children. The purpose of this case report was to present a case of a 4 - year - old boy came with a chief complaint of decay on the upper front and lower back teeth in the last 4 - 5 months. Radiographic examination reveals pulpal involvement wrt 51, 61, 52, 62, 64, 74, 75, 84, 85 and shows good length root. Based on the clinical findings we came to the diagnosis of early childhoods caries type III and stage IV. Hence the patient was planned for pulpectomy followed by placement of reinforced fiber post and crown. Full mouth rehabilitation can significantly improve the oral health related quality of life of children with ECC.
