Abstract

Teeth avulsion and displacement is common in road traffic accidents involving injury to the dentofacial areas. But here is a rare scenario presented with upper central incisor displaced into the frontal sinus due to trauma. In this article we discuss the case, mechanism of the tooth displacement and its management.
Key Message: The effect of tooth displacement depends on the magnitude and direction of force on the affected tooth.
