title: Spontaneous re-eruption of intruded permanent incisors: five case reports.
abstract: This report presents 5 cases of intrusive luxation in immature permanent central incisors. The intruded incisors, with careful monitoring, were allowed to spontaneously re-erupt, which avoided the need to reposition the tooth either orthodontically or surgically. All of the teeth re-erupted spontaneously in a few months. The root development continued in all of the cases and all pulps remained vital. There were no other signs of pulpal and/or periapical pathology. It can be concluded that intruded immature permanent teeth can spontaneously re-erupt, conserve their vitality, and continue their root development without any surgical or orthodontic management.
