ABSTRACT
Dental trauma in primary teeth can cause irreversible changes in the development of permanent tooth germs, including enamel hypoplasia, crown dilaceration, and root dilaceration. This article discusses multidisciplinary treatment of enamel hypoplasia and root dilaceration in the maxillary left central incisor of an 11-year-old girl. A 10-year follow-up is reported to demonstrate the long-term clinical outcomes. At the initial presentation, the patient's mother reported that the child had an accident at the age of 2 years, resulting in intrusive luxation of the primary maxillary left central incisor. After the accident, the patient was monitored for eruption of the permanent successor tooth, and different approaches were proposed during each period of the patient's development on the basis of the clinical diagnosis of root dilaceration and enamel hypoplasia. The crown was restored with composite resin, and the root defect was restored with resin-modified glass ionomer cement. After 10 years, the clinical outcomes highlight that the multidisciplinary approach was successful in preserving the natural tooth with good periodontal health conditions.
