Abstract

A case of a mandibular fracture with an unusual complication is reported. A 13-year-old boy was admitted four years
after conservative treatment of a symphyseal fracture. He complained of recurrent swelling. A radiographic evaluation
showed a horizontally laid permanent mandibular left lateral incisor (PMLLI) that had probably slid into the fracture
line and provoked repetitive infection episodes. After a surgery, a clinical and radiological analysis showed satisfactory
healing.
