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.

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.

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.

This study investigated the expression of extracellular matrix glycoproteins tenascin (TN) and fibronectin (FN) in pulp repair after capping with calcium hydroxide (CH), following different hemostasis protocols. Class I cavities with a pulp exposure were prepared in 42 human third molars scheduled for extraction. Different hemostatic agents (0.
