Treatment approach to a traumatically intruded maxillary central tooth: A case report

This case report presents the treatment of a 10-year-old male child with a traumatic maxillary right central tooth. Radiological examination of the patient revealed an intrusion of more than 7 mm in the right maxillary lateral incisor and a non-complicated traumatic dental injury. After raising the flap, the intruded tooth was luxated and brought to the desired position. Once the tooth was positioned, the soft tissue was sutured, and the teeth were splinted with a semi-rigid wire for four weeks. In the follow-up three weeks later, the pulp of the mature tooth was extirpated, calcium hydroxide was placed in the canals, and root canal treatment was performed one week later. Clinical and radiological examinations and six-month follow-up revealed no marginal bone loss, resorption in the periapical tissues, or pathology. The routine clinical and radiological follow-up of our case continues. The treatment planning of fully intruded permanent teeth requires a multidisciplinary approach. During the treatment process, the collaboration of specialists such as pedodontists, maxillofacial surgeons, and orthodontists is important.
