title: An unusual seat belt injury in a 7-year-old boy.
abstract: A luxation injury of a lower primary incisor in a 7-year-old boy was caused by the shoulder component of a seat belt. This highlights the increased risk of injury in children who are too large for safety seats but still too small for adult seat belts.
