Abstract
A male patient (aged 47 years) got into an accident, reported to the Emergency Unit with the complaint of traumatic injury to the face. He was bleeding profusely from the nose & his lower lip got completely torn off. The resident doctors of the Emergency room gave the primary care like suturing the lower lip and giving some IV analgesics to him. After getting a bit stability in his condition, they sent him for Face CT and a chest X-ray. Later, the case was referred to the Dental department. The Face CT reveals traumatic luxation injuries to the central and lateral incisors of the maxillary region, but no injuries to the adjoining bony structure was found. Finally, eriodontal splinting was done to the maxillary canine to canine region under LA to reposition the luxated teeth
