Developmental malformation of primary and permanent dentition: a rare sequel of trauma

J Contemp Dent Pract. 2013 Sep 1;14(5):944-7. doi: 10.5005/jp-journals-10024-1430.

Abstract

Dentofacial injuries that occur prior to the eruption of primary teeth can result in developmental disturbances not only in the primary but also in permanent dentition. Here we report a rare case of long term sequelae of trauma in a female child of 4 to 5 months of age which resulted in dilaceration and impaction of maxillary primary central incisors and subsequent enamel hypoplasia of the permanent maxillary central incisors.
