Abstract

Trauma to the permanent dentition, particularly the maxillary incisors, is common. Prompt and appropriate management can significantly improve the prognosis for many of these dentoalveolar injuries. Unfortunately, much of this trauma is left untreated. This paper discusses the management of children who present with intruded permanent incisors.
