| Abstract: | Abstract – Intrusive luxation of permanent mature teeth is one of the most serious injuries to the periodontal ligament in dental traumatology. Various treatment approaches are currently practised. The treatment of choice for traumatically intruded teeth was to combine orthodontic repositioning and endodontic treatment. This case report describes the treatment of a 50-year-old male patient, with four completely intruded mature permanent maxillary incisors. Orthodontic extrusion was initiated 1 week after the trauma. After 10 days, the crowns of the teeth were exposed to start endodontic therapy. Nine weeks after the injury and 8 weeks after the beginning of orthodontic extrusion, the intruded incisors were back about to their original position before the displacement occurred. All treatment management as well as a follow-up 8 years after the trauma are described. |
