Abstract
A chain of events in the development of the dentition following trauma is described. Shortening of the root of the lateral incisor or displa cement of the tooth bud, both as a sequel to trauma, may affect the pa th of eruption of the adjacent canine after dental injury. Special att ention should be paid to the further development and eruption of the d irectly and indirectly affected teeth.
