Interdisciplinary Orthodontic–Endodontic Management of Complex Dental Trauma Involving Three Permanent Anterior Teeth: A Clinical Case Report

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Background and Clinical Significance: Dental trauma presents a considerable challenge for clinicians due to the diverse and complex effects on teeth. Effective management often requires the collaboration of multiple specialists, including endodontists and orthodontists. Case Presentation: This case report presents the interdisciplinary management of a complex dental trauma case involving three permanent maxillary anterior teeth. Unlike most reports of dental trauma, this case includes complete pre-trauma diagnostic records, providing valuable baseline information for treatment planning and outcome assessment. A 15-year-old female patient was examined in the orthodontic clinic, with comprehensive diagnostic records being obtained at the initial visit. Before the commencement of active orthodontic therapy, the patient experienced an extraoral traumatic incident. Clinical and radiographic assessment revealed concussion and traumatic mobility of the upper right canine, intrusive luxation of the upper right lateral incisor and extrusive luxation with increased mobility of the upper right central incisor. Taking into consideration treatment alternatives, an orthodontic–endodontic approach was preferred. Conclusions: The successful management of complex dental trauma affecting multiple permanent teeth requires interdisciplinary collaboration. The clinical significance lies in the potential long-term consequences on both tooth function and aesthetics, which can impact patient well-being.
