Prevalence of TDI was higher in CSHCN, and associated with increased overjet and incompetent lips. Uncomplicated crown fracture was the most common injury. In both groups, the main reason for not seeking treatment was lack of dental awareness among parents/caregivers; however, difficulties in getting an appointment and availability of dental clinics willing to see children were more prominent in the CSHCN group.

The protocol for the management of dental avulsion is based on many factors including management of the emergency at the accident site, extraoral dry time, the transport medium for the avulsed tooth, the root development of the avulsed tooth, etc. The management can also vary depending on the mental maturation and ability of the child to cooperate. This is especially true if the child involved with the avulsion is a differently-abled child with severe mental retardation. Dental emergencies among children with special health care needs are very common and standard protocols for management may have to be modified when dealing with these children.The following is a case report of the management of avulsion of bilateral permanent central incisors in a differently-abled child with severe mental retardation under general anesthesia. Emphasis is also placed on the post-operative management, which involved the chairside removal of the splint using intravenous sedation.
