Implants in children: a case report.
A post-crowned, root-filled tooth in a 13-year-old child which is retraumatised resulting in palatal fracture of the root often necessitates removal of the root. The future treatment plan involves appropriate space management and restorative treatment. In this instance the root was retained in order to preserve alveolar bone until the patient was old enough for an implant.
