At present, OLP is accepted as being a potential malignant disorder, therefore lifelong follow-up is recommended.

An early orthodontic evaluation might be planned in the management of children with NF1 to prevent or decrease the need for extensive orthodontic interventions.

This case describes a patient with a traumatic crown fracture of an upper incisor, associated with a laceration wound in the lower lip, showing local oedema. While palpating the tissues of the lower lip we felt the presence of a foreign body. This was confirmed by a radiograph of the lip that showed a radiopaque material, being similar to the coronal fragment of the fractured incisor. It was successfully surgically removed and immediately reattached using a composite adhesive technique. At the follow-up of 1 year later the vitality test on the teeth was positive and neither one of the two traumatized teeth showed any sign of discoloration.
