Pediatric Dentistry · single question
A ~3-year-old child has a primary central incisor with pulp exposure AND mobility after a fall. Most appropriate treatment?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Extraction
Mobility indicates periodontal disruption and/or root fracture. A mobile primary tooth CANNOT host pulp therapy. Additionally, for a very young uncooperative child, extraction is most appropriate. Space management considered afterward.
