Abstract

A case of tuberous sclerosis (TS) with classic triad of seizures, mental deficiency and angiofibromas is

presented. The child also presented with self-mutilating behavior, which resulted in the fracture of her

anterior teeth. A comprehensive treatment was rendered to the patient under general anesthesia and a

mouth guard was given to prevent further trauma to the teeth.
