After a comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation by the Department of Stomatology, Anesthesiology, and Pediatrics, the patient was classified as ASA III and underwent dental treatment under total intravenous anesthesia, with tracheal intubation performed under fiberoptic bronchoscopic guidance. The procedures included pulpotomy, tooth extraction, resin restoration, placement of preformed metal crowns, and topical fluoride application. The perioperative course was uneventful and no respiratory, airway, or anesthesia-related adverse events were observed. The patient was followed up continuously for 6 to 12 months after dental treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
