Dental injuries are emergencies that require the dental professional a fast, but thorough. Despite the agility in primary care, most often it is necessary to monitor the patient for a long period. The objective of this study is to report the case of a boy who attended the emergency care of the Children’s Clinic Lutheran University of Brazil (Ulbra) - campus Cachoeira do Sul/RS - Brazil, with multiple injuries resulting from a fall from a bike. The patient arrived 24 hours after the trauma with multiple facial lacerations that had been sutured to the hospital previously. The teeth involved, 11, 12, 13, 21, 22 and 23, had lesions of coronary fracture, extrusive luxation and subluxation. Was held radiography of the region was not detected root fracture or buccal bone plate. In the first visit, it was decided for the construction of a semi-rigid containment maintained for three weeks, because some teeth were highly mobile. From the urgent care the patient has been followed and treated at the University. We can conclude that emergency treatment is quite complex, a good clinical history, a good clinical examination and exams are essential in establishing a plan for prompt and appropriate treatment. The prognosis is often uncertain, may involve various dental specialties and becomes more favorable when the professional’s knowledge, speed in emergency treatment and makes the correct routing of the patient when needed.
