Abstract

Dental trauma with children and adolescents is a serious dental public health problem. Traumatic injuries on permanent teeth are common, and dramatic episodes can occur during childhood. Cases of dental avulsions and reimplantations, dentoalveolar fractures, several forms (lateral, extrusive and intrusive) of luxations, concussion, subluxation, gingival lacerations and hard, pulpal dental tissue lesions have been extensively reported. This case report presents the therapy for severe trauma caused by multiple traumatic injuries to the dentoalveolar complex of a patient.
