Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a severe cutaneous reaction seen rarely in clinical practice. Most often, it occurs
as an adverse reaction to certain drugs. When it affects children at a very young age, arrested tooth root development
may also be seen. We present a case of a 13 year old boy who suffered from SJ syndrome at the age of 7
years. Incomplete root development was observed in all teeth, as demonstrated by panaromic radiography. Clinical
features of this condition and its management are further discussed. We aim to emphasise on the need for dental
practitioners to be aware of the potential dental complications of SJS and enable them to recognise and manage the
condition at the earliest so as to avoid any undesirable sequelae. |
