CBCT images of treatment of incisor rotation, canine transposition, lateral incisor orizzontal position and risk of canines impacted, as result of facial trauma in growing patient

Facial trauma in growing patient may cause excessive development of bone or can limit it because of scar tissue, mostly in growing centers such as condyle or alveolar bone. Earlier the trauma is, the more the injury is and it is hard to recognise functional and occlusal changes during growing period. Alveolar bone in children deforms after trauma but doesn’t fracture [1]. If tooth follicle is injured, permanent tooth can be displaced, and it will be a problem its extrusion. Tooth follicle guides tooth extrusion [2]. In 2013, in the orthodontic department of G. D’Annunzio University, in Chieti (ITALY), an eleven years old girl refers to have hurt the left part of the superior jaw, falling off bike, when she was five years old.
