Pediatric dentists often encounter with traumatic injuries. Explosive material injuries are seen very rare than other types. Tissue damage in the explosion is because of blast injury, penetrating injury and thermal burn injury. In our study we described pediatric case exposed to blast effect. After multiple finger injury treatment performed, left central maxillary incisor fracture was treated with composite resin restoration. At sixth month control visit, adequate soft tissue support was provided and no color discoloration, fracture or abscess formation was seen. As a result of this case report, the blast injury that rarely seen in pediatric patients in dentistry can be repair properly with appropriate restoration techniques.

Çocuk diş hekimleri sportif yaralanmalar ve trafik kazası sonucu diş travmaları gibi yaralanmalarla sık karşılaşmakla birlikte patlayıcı maddelerle meydana gelen yaralanmalarla nadiren karşılaşmaktadır. Patlama yaralanmaları sonucu oluşan doku hasarı, blast yaralanma, penetran yaralanma ve termal yanık hasarı sonucu oluşmaktadır. Bu tip yaralanmalar genellikle yetişkin popülasyonda görülmekle birlikte nadiren pediatrik olgularda da görülebilmektedir. Çalışmamızda, cep telefonu bataryasının patlaması sonucu yüz ve el bölgesinde travma gelişen 11 yaşında pediatrik olgu sunulmaktadır. Travma sonrası sol maksiller santral kesici diş kırığı ve her iki elde multipl parmak yaralanması gelişen hastaya, parmakların onarımı sonrası tarafımızca fraktüre diş kompozit restorasyonu uygulandı. Operasyon sonrası parmak onarımında yeterli yumuşak doku desteği sağlandı. Diş restorasyonu sonrası 6. ay yapılan kontrollerde hastanın restorasyonunda herhangi bir renk değişikliği ve kırık görülmedi. Çalışmamızın sonucunda blast yaralanmalar sonucu nadiren gözlenen pediatrik diş travmalarının uygun restorasyon ile etkili biçimde onarılabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
