Management of multiple trauma avulsion of anterior primary teeth: a three-year follow-up

Gen Dent. 2011 Mar-Apr;59(2):145-7.

Abstract

Dental trauma can cause physical, esthetic, and psychological problems. This paper presents the case of a 2-year-old boy who suffered multiple avulsions of the maxillary anterior teeth. Treatment consisted of fixed orthodontic appliances with artificial anterior teeth. The clinical follow-up lasted for three years. The procedure for the re-establishment of esthetic and dental function was based on a simple, low-cost therapeutic solution. The child and parents were satisfied with the treatment results.
