Title: Case report: A paediatric patient with molar incisor hypomineralisation and hypodontia, treated with inhalation and intravenous sedation for extractions of deciduous and permanent molars
Author(s): T. Ng

Abstract: 

A 12-year-old patient was referred into the community dental service by their general dental practitioner following an orthodontic opinion. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed molar incisor hypomineralisation with grossly broken down UR6 and UL6. In addition to hypodontia, the LL5 was not present and a retained LLE was in situ. The patient was advised removal of UL6, UR6, LLE, LRE by the orthodontist. The patient had never received dental treatment and was anxious. The patient successfully completed treatment with inhalation sedation for the removal of LRE and LLE and intravenous sedation for the removal of UR6 and UL6.
