Treatment of traumatically intruded permanent incisor teeth: case report

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.

In the treatment of intruded teeth, a combination of orthodontic and endodontic treatment can be utilized. The use of appropriate orthodontic mechanics and endodontic techniques may involve a multidisciplinary approach to achieve an acceptable result.
