Unusual Morphology of Permanent Tooth Related to Traumatic Injury: A Case Report

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Root duplication, or multiple roots, is a very rare anatomy of the maxillary central incisor. METHODS: This case report describes a permanent central incisor having 2 distinct roots as an assumed sequela of the avulsion and replantation of a primary incisor. RESULTS: The permanent successor might have had a disturbance of development because of the traumatic injury and discontinuity in the treatment after replantation. Conventional endodontic treatment followed by esthetic restoration was performed on the tooth. CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians should consider the potential prognoses and complications of traumatic injuries to primary teeth.
