Abstract
This case report presents the endodontic and prosthodontic management of a rhinectomy patient who sustained iatrogenic damage to the apices of her anterior maxillary teeth during surgical resection of a nasal tumour. We discuss the issues with surgical and prosthodontic management of oncology patients who have undergone surgery and radiotherapy, in addition to the endodontic techniques employed to ensure success of treatment whilst noting important prognostic indicators. The case highlights the importance of routine radiographic review and post-surgical tooth assessment of patients who sustain trauma or have surgery in the midface, since clinicians may only radiograph anterior teeth when they are symptomatic and/or present with trauma. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Close monitoring of traumatized teeth or teeth in close proximity to surgical sites should be provided.
