– This report describes a case of a patient (1 year and 8 months old) with traumatic avulsion of the maxillary right primary central incisor and morphological changes in the germ of the permanent successor. One year after the trauma, an odontoma‐like malformation developed. This malformation was removed 6 years after trauma and orthodontic treatment was started. Clinical follow‐up and periodic radiographs are necessary after traumatic avulsion of primary teeth to monitor possible sequelae in the permanent successor. An odontoma‐like malformation requires a multidisciplinary approach.
