This case report, with excellent color intraoral photographs, illustrates the step-by-step treatment of complex anterior dental injuries. The case includes evaluation of possible neurologic damage, suturing a large mucosal laceration, replantation and splinting of an avulsed permanent central incisor, luxated incisors, pulp therapy, and resin composite restorations with radiographic follow-up.
