Abstract

A case is presented of the management of traumatically intruded upper left central and lateral incisors. The intrusion of teeth involves damage to the gingival tissues, periodontal ligament, cementum, bone and the neurovascular supply to the pulp. There is a lack of evidence base concerning the ideal method of treatment of traumatically intruded permanent teeth in children. In this case, fixed orthodontic treatment was carried out, bringing the teeth into the correct occlusion, followed by endodontic treatment.
