This paper highlights features of dental rehabilitation of patients with Hamamy syndrome. A 10-year-old boy patient with Hamamy syndrome reported pain in the maxillary left central incisor, and all mandibular incisors. Intraoral clinical and radiographical examination showed enamel hypoplasia, severe dilacerated maxillary left central incisor and mandibular incisors, malocclusion, delayed eruption of teeth, taurodontism, and loss of lamina dura. Root canal treatment, strip crown and composite restorations were performed.

Lateral luxation is the displacement of the tooth in a direction other than axial, which is accompanied by comminution or fracture of the alveolar socket. Lateral luxation is one of the most prevalent dental injuries among the general population, resulting in up to 27% of all dental wounds. All physical activities have an associated risk of orofacial injuries due to falls, collisions, and contact with hard surfaces. Just like any other training activities, military training exercises present a significant risk of dental traumas, which comprise 2% to 8% of all military dental emergencies. The aim of this report was to present a case of a dental lateral luxation caused by the hit of a rifle stock during close combat training. The tooth was extruded from its bony lock, temporarily filled with a calcium hydroxide-based paste, replaced into its original anatomic position, and secured with Ivy loop wirings. The permanent endodontic treatment was performed 4 weeks after repositioning. At the end of the 8-months follow-up, the tooth was asymptomatic and any pathological alterations were absent.
