A patient diagnosed with epilepsy 3 months ago has a fractured tooth #8. What is appropriate before restoring it?

Correct answer: D. Occlusal analysis to determine whether occlusal forces contributed to the fracture

• A. A full series may be useful but does not answer the causative question.
• B. Extraction is over-treatment for a restorable fractured incisor.
• C. There is no infection or cardiac indication for antibiotics.
• D. Correct. Establish why the tooth fractured before restoring. Seizure activity produces violent clenching and possible trauma; if an occlusal interference or parafunction contributed, restoring without addressing it guarantees recurrence — and a night guard may be indicated.
