Abstract: A critical facet of pediatric dentistry includes the proper assessment and management of trauma in the developing dentition. Providing appropriate, timely help following an incident can appreciably improve patient outcomes. This case report follows an 8-year-old child who experienced complicated fractures of his immature, permanent dentition. The fractures occurred when the patient accidentally ran face first into a metal pole at a park. The fractures were subgingival and exposed the pulp of developing teeth #8 and 9. The dental management of this child emphasizes how evidence-based care can provide hope for traumatized teeth with poor prognoses on cooperative patients.
