Description
Aishani Baksi and co-authors describe a 2026 dental case in a toddler with after-effects of Caffey disease. That rare infant bone disorder thickens the jaw and can hinder feeding. Their patient was a boy aged two years and ten months. He had severe early childhood tooth decay in many teeth.
Scans showed diffuse jaw thickening without tooth infection. Given his high decay risk, poor cooperation, and general health, the team chose full-mouth treatment under general anaesthesia. Work included fillings, one extraction, sealants, and fluoride. Airway and medical checks came first through a multidisciplinary team. Recovery went smoothly, and feeding improved in the short term. The authors urge individualised, team-based dental planning for such children.
