A case report of dental restorative treatment in cannabis user

Abstract

The clinical case report from this article is about a complete oral rehabilitation of a 25 years old male patient, who had a bicycle accident thirty days before visiting the dental clinic. The patient presented dental fractures, pulp necrosis and multiple carious lesions; additionally, the patient used cannabis. The team proposed a multidisciplinary treatment, which included adjustment of the oral environment by performing conventional root scaling and planning, eliminating septic focuses and performing endodontic procedures in the affected teeth. In addition, metal screws with zirconium crowns were placed in the lateral incisors and composite veneers in the central incisors. All the procedures performed in this patient were successful, however, the total success of this treatment demands the patient's commitment, as there is a high risk of developing caries.
