Dental-alveolar trauma in the primary dentition associated with intra-cranial injuries is not common. This article reports the management of a complex trauma involving cranial trauma and multiple luxations and avulsions of primary teeth in a five-year old boy as a consequence of a horse kick. The treatment, including the hospital intervention and dentistry procedures, is described. The clinical outcomes are reported at a 5-year follow-up.
