Unusual displacement of maxillary lateral incisor into the orbital floor after panfacial trauma: A case report

Panfacial trauma often involves extensive fractures across the facial skeleton and is frequently associated with dentoalveolar injuries. In cases with missing teeth, extra caution is needed, as avulsed teeth or fragments may be displaced into adjacent structures such as the maxillary sinus, nasal ca...

description Panfacial trauma often involves extensive fractures across the facial skeleton and is frequently associated with dentoalveolar injuries. In cases with missing teeth, extra caution is needed, as avulsed teeth or fragments may be displaced into adjacent structures such as the maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, airway, or even the gastrointestinal tract. This report presents a rare case of a maxillary lateral incisor displaced into the orbital floor following panfacial trauma. The case highlights the critical importance of thorough clinical and radiographic assessment, particularly with CT imaging, to ensure accurate diagnosis, prevent complications, and achieve optimal management in panfacial trauma.
