    Author: Ella B, Devert N, Bardinet E, Lauverjat Y, Pouget J, Da Costa Noble R, Boileau MJ.
    Journal: Dent Traumatol; 2009 Jun; 25(3):338-40. PubMed ID: 19583581.
    Abstract:
    A 42-year-old woman had sustained a severe dental trauma with an alveolar fracture after an epileptic attack. A tooth block 31, 32, 33 and 34 was dislocated about 7 mm in buccal direction. Panoramic X-rays and CT-scan disclosed the alveolar fracture without total disjunction of the fragment. An orthodontic appliance was used to reduce the fracture with gentle forces during a 5-month period. Normal function was established and the teeth remained vital.
