ABSTRACT
This paper describes the management of a 24-month-old boy who presented with self-inflicted trauma to his lower lip and tongue, and teeth grinding, 21 days after developing meningococcal septicaemia. A decision to observe and prescribe palliative therapy was made. Extraction of the lower right deciduous canine, which had become non-vital, possibly due to bruxism, was carried out.
