• –  A 42‐year‐old woman had sustained a severe dental trauma with an alveolar fracture after an epileptic attack. A tooth block 31, 32, 33 and 34 was dislocated about 7 mm in buccal direction. Panoramic X‐rays and CT‐scan disclosed the alveolar fracture without total disjunction of the fragment. An orthodontic appliance was used to reduce the fracture with gentle forces during a 5‐month period. Normal function was established and the teeth remained vital.
