By focusing on a rare combination of injuries, this case study explores the issues of delayed management of root fractures accompanied by coronal extrusions in immature maxillary permanent central incisors, underscoring the necessity for tailored approaches when guidelines for intervention were unmet. Methods: The case involves an eight-year-old boy who delayed seeking care for approximately a year after suffering trauma to his upper front teeth in a fall accident at school. The clinical examination revealed partial displacement of two maxillary central incisors in an incisal direction, resulting in increased mobility. Radiographs further showed horizontal root fractures in the apical third of both extruded incisors. Encouragingly, the injured teeth exhibited a normal response to electric pulp testing without signs or symptoms of pulpal pathology, suggesting pulp vitality and eliminating the need for root canal treatment. The extruded coronal fragments were repositioned orthodontically using a utility arch. Results: At the 14-month follow-up, the affected incisors were clinically asymptomatic, functionally satisfactory, and esthetically pleasing. Conclusions: Conservative orthodontic management of extrusive luxation concomitant with root fracture in immature permanent teeth may prove effective in select cases, particularly when long-term follow-up and proper oral care are maintained.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14103605","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,21]],"date-time":"2025-05-21T07:44:57Z","timestamp":1747813497000},"page":"3605","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Delayed Management of Concurrent Coronal Extrusions and Root Fractures in Two Traumatized Maxillary Immature Permanent Central Incisors: A Case Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Thi Thuy Tien","family":"Vo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry, Nguyen Tat Thanh University, Ho Chi Minh City 700000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thi Ngoc Anh","family":"Do","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry, Nguyen Tat Thanh University, Ho Chi Minh City 700000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"71","DOI":"10.1111\/edt.12389","article-title":"World traumatic dental injury prevalence and incidence, a meta-analysis-One billion living people have had traumatic dental injuries","volume":"34","author":"Petti","year":"2018","journal-title":"Dent.
