Rohan, a 7-year-old from an affluent family, presented with severe dental trauma after a bicycle accident. Dr. Kumar performed emergency stabilization of multiple avulsed teeth using advanced splinting techniques. The child required weekly follow-ups for 3 months and eventually regained full dental function with minimal aesthetic impact, much to his parents' relief.
