Abstract
When orally rehabilitating pediatric patients, there are a multitude of obstacles: aesthetics, psychosocial issues, resultant maxillary and/or mandibular cants, difficulties with mastication, continued growth, and compliance with a removable prosthesis (Cantekin et al. 2014). There are numerous advantages to the of implants in pediatric patients: maintenance of the bony reconstruction construct, return of masticatory function, maintenance of the occlusal plane by preventing hypereruption, and aesthetics (Gopinath et. al 2015). Dental implants are a well-studied field in the adult subset of patients; however, there is minimal literature discussing the placement of implants in pediatric patients.
