Stage of succedaneous tooth’s development at the time of traumatic injury and/or treatment of carious primary tooth can result in disruption of normal enamel formation and other severe form of injuries to developing tooth bud, resulting in enamel opacities, hypoplasia, dilacerations and even agenesis. This paper describes two rare cases in which traumatic injury to primary incisors resulted in irreversible histodifferentiation and morphodifferentiation changes in the succedaneous tooth germs. Permanent mandibular and maxillary incisors erupted with hypoplasia/dilacerations i.e., anomalies in shape, form and size as sequel to this trauma. Early intervention was considered in both the cases with minimum invasive approach regarding preventive, restorative and esthetic techniques. This approach of treatment established form, function, appearance and hence selfesteem of the children
