Severe intrusion injuries of primary teeth are frequently associated with serious developmental disorders. This report describes the diagnostic procedures and the multidisciplinary approach for multiple sequelae to permanent incisors due to a severe intrusive injury of the primary maxillary anterior teeth at the age of 18 months in a 7-year-old girl. Clinical examination revealed hypoplasia of tooth 22, and radiographic examination showed crown-root malformation of tooth 21, impaction of tooth 11, and the presence of an odontoma-like malformation on tooth 12. The affected tooth 12 had a poor prognosis, as highlighted by CBCT, and it was extracted. While for the impacted 11, a surgical extraction followed by an orthodontic treatment is scheduled. Aesthetic and functional problems were solved by a functional space maintainer using a removable partial denture. The occurrence of multiple abnormalities in permanent teeth as a result of intrusive injuries in the primary dentition enhances the need for creating awareness among dentists not only of the importance of appropriate immediate management of trauma but also of the importance of establishing a long-term follow up and subsequent management of any sequelae.
