Sequelae of Intrusive Trauma to the Primary Predecessors: Odontoma Like Malformation and Enamel Hypoplasia

Traumatic injury to the primary teeth can cause significant alteration of the underlying permanent dentition because of the close anatomic relationship between the developing permanent teeth and the apices of the overlying primary incisors. These developmental disturbances may range from white or yellow brown enamel discoloration with or without enamel hypoplasia, crown- root dilaceration, odontoma like malformation, root duplication or angulation, arrest of root development, germ sequestration and eruption disturbances. This case report describes a rare complication of odontoma-like malformation along with hypoplasia of the permanent teeth resulting from intrusive injury to primary predecessors at a very young age. The management along with esthetic considerations is discussed to achieve the physio-psychological rehabilitation of such patient.
