Management of anterior open bite in a child with neurogenic bladder: A case report

Abstract

The management of children with neurogenic bladder demands a multidisciplinary team approach because of the diversity of problems created by the condition. These children are often at high risk of developing infections due to the chronic use of catheters. Since these children are unable to control their bladder and are prone for allergy to latex, a good knowledge regarding the condition is important. Oral rehabilitation can be defined in terms of the restoration of function and aesthetics. Improving dental health can help in improving the quality of life in these children. This case report describes the management of anterior open bite in an 8-year-old boy diagnosed with neurogenic bladder.
