TLDR
An innovative appliance which has fulfilled the criteria of a fixed semi-permanent prosthesis that needs strength along with esthetics is reported with the appliance named-frog appliance.Abstract:
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease which may result in various oro-facial injuries among which fracture of crown and avulsion of tooth are commonly reported. Challenges come in growing epileptic children where fixed prosthesis could not be delivered and it demands a fixed semi-permanent prosthesis that needs strength along with esthetics. The present paper reports an innovative appliance which has fulfilled fore mentioned criteria; with the appliance named-frog appliance.read more
