– This case report documents the trauma and follow‐up care of lateral luxation associated with extrusion of the lower central incisors in an 8‐month‐old patient. The teeth were repositioned by digital pressure and stabilized using proximal sutures. Clinical and radiographic follow‐up 40 months after the injury showed alterations in both incisors, but both remained functional and free of pathology.
