Restorative treatment on permanent teeth with enamel hypoplasia and crown dilaceration caused by trauma to their primary predecessors

Abstract

This report describes a typical case in which injury to the primary central incisors resulted in morphological changes in the germ of permanent successors. The permanent incisors erupted with enamel hypoplasia/dilaceration, which were treated seven years after the trauma, with a light-cured composite resin restoration. This procedure reestablished the function, the aesthetic appearance and the self-esteem of this patient.
