abstract="Long-term prognosis of complicated traumatic injuries depends on precise treatment planning. Establishing a balance between a patient's age, prognosis, financial hurdles, and treatment needs is challenging. This case highlights the need for meticulous and realistic treatment planning to achieve long-term favourable outcomes in traumatic injuries in young adults.A young child sustained a traumatic injury that caused avulsion of #21 and intrusion along with palatal luxation of #11. The child reported to the dental clinic with intraoral swelling and pain a week after the injury. Socket preservation was done so that uniform bone contour could be achieved for implant placement at a later stage. We modified a 'Hollywood appliance' as an interim prosthesis to ensure that the ridge was not immediately loaded where socket preservation was done.After a follow-up of 3 years, there is significant bone deposition and the child is satisfied with aesthetics.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
