Dental Traumas – Things May Not Be as They Seem: A Case Report:

This case report describes a 52-year-old female patient who attended a specialist adult dental trauma clinic with a confusing history about a re-implanted avulsed maxillary left central incisor (UL1). Following examination, further investigations and clinical investigations, it was determined that the tooth had been re-implanted in the sub-periosteal space. The upper central incisor was extracted and re-implanted into the correct position and then managed by following the 2020 guidelines of the International Association for Dental Traumatology (IADT).This case highlights an unusual complication of managing avulsed teeth and draws attention to the challenges posed by using two-dimensional radiographic imaging when assessing dental injuries.A six-month follow-up appointment confirmed functional success and a reasonably satisfactory aesthetic outcome for the patient.
