Abstract

As oral cavity stands the sixth most afflicted area of human body, it frequently encounters instances of traumatic dental injuries. While severe injuries like avulsions are prompt at seeking dental attention, less severe injuries like enamel dentin fractures are often reported after substantial delay. Over time, these cases may present with myriad signs and symptoms including sudden pain, swelling, discolouration and immature root development, requiring comprehensive management. This case report discusses one such instance of a traumatic dental injury that presented years after the initial trauma with multiple findings. Each problem was addressed sequentially which transformed the situation holistically.
