Minimal Intervention in A Baby after Severe Intrusive Luxation: A Case Report

Abstract

This report describes a case of a 20-month-old baby with severe intrusive luxation. Axial displacement of the teeth in the labial direction was found through the lateral radiograph of nose. Minimal intervention treatment was proposed by periodic follow-up. After 30 days, the teeth started to re-erupt spontaneously without the need for surgical or orthodontic assistance. At eight months, it had erupted completely, showing slight gyroversion of the left upper central incisor. The mother was alerted to monitor the permanent eruption. Conservative treatment in this case of severe dislocation in a baby showed a clinically satisfactory result.
