Crown discolouration is one of the complications associated with traumatic dental injuries. It is the external expression which represents the changes occurring in the pulp-dentine complex, making it visible through a translucent enamel. Though some may say it is a sign of internal damage, it is not necessarily an irreparable damage. The aim of this study is to analyse the association of pulp necrosis and crown discolouration in a traumatised primary teeth. A total of 12 paediatric patients who have a history of trauma in relation to their primary teeth was evaluated. Each of the patients age, gender, tooth number, presence of crown discolouration, pulpal status of the tooth, treatment done, length of the root and the presence of soft tissue swelling was obtained through patient records and the data of 86000 patients from the institution between June 2019 to March 2020. In the presence of crown discolouration, it was found that an equal distribution of both asymptomatic and symptomatic pulpitis (50.0%) was seen in the traumatised primary teeth. There was also no statistical significance between the presence of crown discolouration and the pulpal status of the tooth (p=1.00) Within the limits of our study, crown discolouration due to trauma in primary tooth is prominent in both asymptomatic and symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
