Immediate esthetic treatment of an avulsed/replanted permanent incisor with extensive root resorption: a case report.
This article describes the treatment of a 10 year-old patient with complete root resorption of the maxillary permanent incisor following avulsion and replantation 4 years earlier. The remaining natural crown was used to immediately solve the esthetic problem created by its extraction. The crown was attached with an orthodontic wire and composite resin to adjacent teeth. This temporary treatment does not elicit any damage to adjacent teeth, and can be easily removed. Therefore, it does not affect any plans that might be considered in the future as the permanent treatment.
