Abstract

Impacted tooth is an abnormal tooth eruption, usually caused by adjacent tooth near it or pathologic tissue. Impacted tooth is partially erupted or cannot be erupted entirely because it is blocked by bone or surrounding soft tissue or even both. The odontectomy procedure performed was the same as in other odontectomy cases. Initially, a flap was made to get a field of view, and division of the tooth structure was carried out in the lower third molar teeth into several parts. The results shown one week after the odontectomy procedure, no abnormalities were found and healing in the bones and soft tissue were seen after the procedure. From this case report, it can be concluded that in post-operative impacted tooth management, a minimum traumatic technique should be applied and the correct drug of choice and time of administration can give a high effective effect of managing patient's discomfort and high yield of infection prevention.

Abstract

Treatment of primary teeth requires careful extraction and appropriate management to achieve optimal results and reduce the risk of complications. Distraction behavior management has been introduced as an important approach to address anxiety and improve patient cooperation during dental procedures, especially in pediatric patients. This case report describes an 8-year-old girl who underwent an extraction procedure using non-pharmacological distraction behavior management techniques. The results of extraction treatment with distraction behavior management proved to be appropriate, involving diverting the patient's focus from the instruments, the operator, and the procedure during the procedure. The extraction procedure proceeded smoothly from start to finish, despite the difficulty of primary tooth extraction. Primary tooth extraction is one of the most feared dental treatments for children. However, with appropriate behavior management techniques according to the child's behavioral classification, the tooth extraction procedure can proceed smoothly and without problems.
