This disorder often presents cardiac defects such as ventricular septal defect (VSD) and atrial septal defect, which can be a hindrance in providing safe dental treatment in these patients. Effective treatment planning, which includes taking necessary precautions, can help to deliver a comfortable treatment to such patients. This case report is of a pediatric patient of DS along with unrepaired VSD, requiring extraction of a grossly carious nonrestorable posterior tooth. }, URL ={https://www.ijpedor.org/article.asp?issn=2468-8932;year=2021;volume=6;issue=2;spage=60;epage=62;aulast=Dev;t=6}, eprint ={https://www.ijpedor.org/article.asp?issn=2468-8932;year=2021;volume=6;issue=2;spage=60;epage=62;aulast=Dev;t=6} }
