Abstract
Dental trauma occurs unexpectedly and without prior notice. Dental practitioners and their offices must be adequately equipped to quickly and properly treat patients who require emergency and urgent intervention to ensure the best possible outcome and, as soon as possible, with proper management protocols that will affect the future prognosis of the affected teeth. This report covers the case of a 13-year-old female patient who suffered partial subluxation of her left maxillary, central, and lateral incisors, difficulty closing her mouth, and soft tissue laceration. The case was treated immediately following the approved protocol and monitored for three years until the soft tissues were completely healed and the anterior permanent teeth were properly aligned.
