Abstrakt: The prognosis of luxation injuries of primary teeth is often unpredictable. A two-year-old girl presented with a displaced left primary maxillary anterior tooth diagnosed as severe intrusive luxation. On radiographic examination, it was noticed to be impinging on the underlying permanent tooth bud. The tooth was extracted, and periodic follow-ups were emphasized until the successor tooth erupted. However, after eight years, the patient followed up with a chief complaint of an unerupted permanent maxillary anterior tooth. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed a combination of anomalies in the crown and root of the maxillary anterior tooth. After a wait-and-observe regime for six months, the incisal third of the crown erupted. At eight years and eight months, the tooth developed a periapical abscess which was treated endodontically and restored. At nine years and three months, the tooth is asymptomatic till date. The present case report highlights the consequences of intrusive luxation injuries to the primary teeth and the need for a multidisciplinary team approach in the management of complications of dental trauma along with meticulous long-term follow-ups.
