Abstract:The article describes an unusual case of a 7 years old male
child presenting with orofacial cat bite injury that occurred
in infancy. This resulted in loss of deciduous and permanent
tooth buds and consequently hampered alveolar growth. The
patient was given a removable partial denture to restore
function and aesthetics. The article highlights the importance
of complete history, diagnosis and management of such
injuries in children.
