Arenas M, Barbería E, Lucavechi T, Maroto M. Severe trauma in the primary dentition - diagnosis and treatment of sequelae in permanent dentition. © Blackwell Munksgaard, 2006. Abstract -

A 2-year 6-month male presented after an intrusive injury sustained at 15 months of age. Intra-oral radiographs showed coronal dilaceration of the germ of the permanent central incisor and the presence of a calcified tissue mass in the area of the trauma which was identified after surgical removal as the permanent upper left lateral incisor. Immediate treatment and long-term options are discussed.
