Background: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a congenital abnormality of the heart. Patients with this syndrome and multiple dental caries with pulp exposure may require comprehensive dental treatment under general anesthesia. Pulpectomy is performed in primary teeth with pulp expose. This treatment in anterior teeth requires palatal access and the majority there is no good visibility, requiring more time to perform. Therefore, this case aimed to demonstrate a pulp chamber opening alternative in pulpectomies in a child with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.Case Presentation: A 3-year-old female patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and multiple dental caries with reversible pulpitis in anterior upper teeth. The dental treatment was performed under general anesthesia. Due to abundant hemorrhage in anterior upper teeth, pulpectomies were performed, which pulp chamber openings were modified by labial and the treatment itself was completed. After, these teeth were rehabilitated with direct restorative veneers using light-curing composite resin. The follow-up at 12 months showed an absence of evidence clinic and radiographic. Conclusion: This case demonstrated the pulp chamber opening performed by labial in pulpectomy is an effective and viable alternative to reduce operative time and improve visibility in pulpotomies in a child with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
