Résumé
Lateral luxation can be defined as the traumatic displacement of a tooth in a direction other than axial. The current case report describes the use of composite resin splinting to treat laterally luxated primary maxillary central incisors which resulted in an anterior cross bit. A 5-year-old boy reported to the clinic complaining of pain and mobile front teeth that is his primary right and left central incisors were laterally luxated. After a complete clinical examination and radiographic evaluation, the teeth were repositioned and stabilized for 4 weeks by splinting the laterally luxated tooth to the adjacent teeth. Follow-up examinations revealed that the tissues had healed well and that the corresponding central permanent incisor was healthy and unaffected. This case study highlights the significance of prompt diagnosis, effective treatment, and routine follow-up of traumatized teeth because they may have an adverse effect on both dentitions and "Oral Health-Related Quality of Life". When feasible, conservative treatment should be considered because it may be more suitable in some circumstances.
