Management of traumatic injuries to the teeth is a challenge to the practicing dentist. It has no prescriptive method for occurring, possesses no significant predictable pattern of intensity or extensiveness and occurring at times when dentists are least prepared for it. Ninety-two percent of traumatic injuries results in fracture of maxillary permanent central incisors because of its protrusive and anterior positioning. The young permanent maxillary central incisor root canal chamber is large and tapered. This case report describes the management of Ellis Class III fractured tooth in a young permanent maxillary central incisor by an innovative clinical procedure. Keywords: tooth fracture, cast post core, trauma, metal ceramic

This case report describes delayed replantation of an avulsed maxillary central incisor in a 17-year-old male patient following an injury on fall one day earlier. Avulsed maxillary right permanent central incisor was replanted back into the socket after extra-oral root canal treatment. One year follow up showed validity of treatment, with no evidence of resorption in the replanted tooth.

A 15 year old boy was presented with pain in his upper anterior teeth. On clinical examination both the maxillary central incisor revealed slight discoloration and fracture of the crown. Radiographic evaluation revealed open apex of the left central incisor and apex of the right central incisor was fully developed. Apexification with MTA apical plug was carried out in left central incisor and conventional root canal treatment was done in right central incisor. In two months follow up both the tooth were clinically and radiographically asymptomatic and the healing of the apical area of the left central incisor was continued. These finding suggests that MTA can induce formation of apical barrier in the case of non-vital tooth with open apex. Update Dent. Coll. j: 2019; 9 (1): 42-45

AbstractTraumatic injuries to maxillary anterior teeth while playing are common in children and adolescents. Sequelae of such trauma include broken, lost, aspirated, and swallowed tooth. At times, the broken tooth fragments get embedded in the adjoining soft tissue and frequently get neglected during diagnosis. The present case report discusses the case of a 13-year-old adolescent who had broken tooth fragment emerged in the lower lip and its surgical excision to prevent detrimental reactions and scarring.

Trauma has a lasting effect on both physical as well as mental well-being of an individual. Traumatic dental injury can be distressing for anyone right from a pre-schooler to a teenager to an adult. Hence it’s imperative to restore the affected teeth to reinstate not only the lost confidence but also the lost aesthetics and functionality. This report showcases an intricate case of a 12-year-old male, where uncomplicated crown fracture was associated with extrusive luxation injury in a tooth with open apex which became devitalized and was managed by splinting followed by apexification. Management of even such cases with guarded prognosis can be done conservatively to ensure functional as well as aesthetic rehabilitation. Restoring the tooth to function will help the patient regain his lost confidence. Hence, there cannot be a cookbook approach to manage dental traumatic injuries as many times fractures and luxation injuries occur concurrently.
