Fusion of permanent teeth as post-traumatic sequelae of trauma in primary dentition: A case report with fifteen years of follow-up.

Traumatic dental injuries in primary dentition present risk of sequelae in the permanent dentition. In this case report, we describe the management and long term follow-up of sequelae affecting permanent central incisor due to prior intrusive luxation and subluxation of the corresponding primary tooth. A 5-year-boy was referred for treatment, with history of fall by the age of 21 months, which caused subluxation of the primary maxillary right and left central incisors, and intrusion of the maxillary right lateral incisor.

Impact of Malocclusion on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life of 8-12 Years Old Schoolchildren in Southern Brazil.

The aim of this study was to estimate the impact of malocclusion on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of schoolchildren aged 8-12 years old in Southern Brazil. A two-stage cluster procedure was used to select 1,199 children in 20 public and private schools in Pelotas/Brazil. Cross-sectional data was collected, consisting of a socioeconomic questionnaire to parents, children's interview and clinical oral examination.

Clinical and radiographic sequelae to primary teeth affected by dental trauma: a 9-year retrospective study.

This retrospective study aimed at determining the predicted risks of clinical and radiographic complications in primary teeth following traumatic dental injuries, according to injury type, severity and child's age. Data were collected from records of children treated at a Dental Trauma Center in Brazil for nine years. Records of 576 children were included; clinical sequelae were assessed in 774 teeth, and radiographic sequelae, in 566 teeth.

Primary incisor intruded through the nasal cavity: a case report.

Intrusive luxation may cause complications for the primary tooth and generate adverse sequelae in the permanent successor. Although intrusion is prevalent in the primary dentition, full intrusion is a rare event that requires specialized treatment and a multidisciplinary approach. This article describes the case of a 1-year-old girl who presented with traumatic displacement of the maxillary left central incisor into the nasal cavity.
