| Summary points: | The authors report on a case of avulsion of both maxillary central incisors in an 8-year-old
male child of Sub-Saharan African ethnicity with sickle cell anaemia. One of the incisors was replanted at the clinic then subsequently extracted due to trauma occurring during the course of treatment. The authors discuss the sequelae of traumatic avulsion in a medically compromised patient and stress the importance of prompt and early presentation for dental management. |
