Case report details multiple dental injuries from a fall, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach and early intervention.
Traumatic injuries most commonly affect the maxillary teeth, making them highly susceptible to fractures. This study aims to report a case of multiple dental traumatic injuries after a fall, affecting maxillary central incisors, with a focus on their impact on the patient's quality of life and the management approach that utilized a multidisciplinary team of dental specialists. A 12-year-old patient who presented approximately one and a half years after the initial trauma. The patient exhibited a complicated crown-root fracture with extrusion of the maxillary right central incisor, which was deemed non-restorable and managed through extraction and the placement of an immediate removable partial denture to restore aesthetics and function. The maxillary left central incisor sustained an uncomplicated crown fracture that progressed to pulpal necrosis due to prolonged dentin exposure; it was treated with non-surgical root canal therapy followed by a composite restoration. This case highlights the clinical challenges associated with delayed presentation and underscores the importance of early intervention and a multidisciplinary approach in achieving optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes in the management of dental trauma.
