Abstract:

Injuries to the teeth and soft tissues are prevalent in childhood and adolescence. About a third of children suffer this type of traumatic injury, mainly during household and sports activities. They could seriously affect the social and psychological development of the individual. Untimely treatment often leads to pathological changes in periodontal tissues and irreversible damage to the pulp and periodontium. The article aims to present a clinical case of fractures of the upper central incisors in a 15-year-old child two months after the trauma. As a result of the delay in treatment, gingival hyperplasia and devitalisation of the traumatised teeth are observed. After the examinations, periodontal and endodontic treatment is carried out with the restoration of fractured crowns, which leads to the resumption of the patient’s function and aesthetics.
