Abstract
Dentoalveolar injuries represent a serious dental problem. The time from injury to treatment is a major factor in the outcome of many of these injuries. In this case report, we will describe the management of a dentoalveolar fracture of the lower incisors in a 9-year-old boy. Complete lingual displacement of the fractured fragment involving a three permanent lower incisors was observed clinically and confirmed by radiological examination. The fracture was reduced and stabilized using an acrylic splint under local anesthesia.
