Introduction

Traumatic injuries to permanent teeth are common, and dramatic episodes can occur during childhood.  This matter has been the subject of extensive studies by several authors and the etiology, pathogenesis, and principles of treatment are well described.^{1, 2}  An accepted classification of traumatic injuries of the teeth has been established^{3, 4} and is widely used.  Cases of dental avulsions and re-implantations, dentoalveolar fractures, luxations in its several forms (lateral, extrusive, and intrusive), concussion, subluxation, gingival lacerations, hard and pulpal dental tissue lesions have been extensively reported.  Cases of concomitant injuries are not commonly reported and, to our knowledge, there is not an accepted term to describe the coexistence of two or more traumatic conditions of the dentoalveolar complex.  A case of dental “polytrauma” (concomitant different dental traumatic injuries) is reported in this case presentation.
