Abstract

Management of patients with traumatic injuries to the teeth is an essential part of the general dentistry. Anterior teeth with intrusion/ fractures that extend subgingivally require a compounded treatment strategy that acknowledges biological, esthetic and functional components. Treatment of such teeth often requires a multi-dimensional approach. However, teeth with intrusion or crown-root fractures with placement below the gingival attachment or alveolar bone crest present rehabilitation difficulty. This case report presents a 10-year-old male who reported with intruded upper right central incisor causing recurrent lip injury. This case report presents an intruded maxillary central incisors tooth and its management using orthodontic extrusion and maintaining the healthy periodontal tissue and alveolar bone.

Keywords: Traumatic injuries, Anterior teeth, Multidimensional approach, Rehabilitation difficulties, Orthodontic extrusion.
