Dent Traumatol. 2009 Feb;25(1):e5-11. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-9657.2008.00675.x.

Abstract

This case report documents the dental management of two permanent maxillary central incisors with a severe intrusive labial luxation injury in conjunction with one complicated and one uncomplicated crown fracture. Additionally, there was a fracture of the labial cortical plate which remained attached to the overlying soft tissue. The two affected teeth and fractured labial plate of bone were surgically repositioned and splinted. Endodontic therapy was completed on the two incisors and the two crown fragments, which had been maintained wet, were re-attached. The report describes a multidisciplinary approach to trauma management and case progress over a 20-month period.
