Displacement of tooth fragments to the lower lip: a report of a case presenting an immediate diagnostic approach.

Dental trauma requires a special consideration when dental fractures accompany soft-tissue lacerations. Dental fragments occasionally penetrate into soft tissues and may cause severe complications. A thorough clinical examination with soft-tissue radiographs could provide an early diagnosis and surgical removal.
