The treatment and long-term management of severe multiple avulsions of primary teeth in a 19-month-old child.
Traumatic injury to the primary dentition is a common occurrence in young preschoolers. The maxillary incisors and, more specifically, the central incisors, are the most commonly injured teeth. The purpose of this article is to present the immediate and long-term treatment and management of a severe case of multiple avulsions involving all maxillary incisors and canines and the right first primary molar in a 19-month-old child, due to trauma. Esthetic, functional and orthodontic considerations are discussed.
