Case presentation: This case report describes a successful anterior tooth restoration, in awake state, in a 15-year-old boy with early childhood autism. The procedure was carried out independently by students of dentistry within the scope of their integrated clinical training semesters. Desensitization sessions were used as a preparatory measure and elements of behavioral facilitation (tell-show-feel-feel-do) were applied during the treatment. Conclusions: To avoid discrimination of this group of patients in the provision and quality of dental care, a structured approach to the transfer of theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of special care dentistry is indispensable. To this end, treatment strategies for special care patients should be taught to pre-graduate dental students as a fundamental part of their university curriculum.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children7110237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,19]],"date-time":"2020-11-19T06:23:52Z","timestamp":1605767032000},"page":"237","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Restoration of an Upper Anterior Tooth in an Adolescent with Autism Spectrum Disorder\u2014A Student Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Max","family":"Diekamp","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Integrated Clinical Course, Dental School, Witten\/Herdecke University, 58455 Witten, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leonie","family":"Jenter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Integrated Clinical Course, Dental School, Witten\/Herdecke University, 58455 Witten, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Special Care Dentistry, Dental School, Witten\/Herdecke University, 58455 Witten, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8326-2326","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas G.","family":"Schulte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Special Care Dentistry, Dental School, Witten\/Herdecke University, 58455 Witten, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7592-8653","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oliver","family":"Fricke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Child Neurology, Gemeinschaftskrankenhaus Herdecke, 58313 Herdecke, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Witten\/Herdecke University, 58455 Witten, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5700-3144","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Special Care Dentistry, Dental School, Witten\/Herdecke University, 58455 Witten, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Child Neurology, Gemeinschaftskrankenhaus Herdecke, 58313 Herdecke, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Witten\/Herdecke University, 58455 Witten, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"72","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1754-4505.1999.tb01371.x","article-title":"Autoextraction in an autistic dental patient: A case report","volume":"19","author":"Armstrong","year":"1999","journal-title":"Spec.
