Avulsion and replacement of the tooth element fractured at the level of the middle 1/3: a case report.
Dental trauma continues to cause loss of teeth, particularly in the anterior region of the maxilla. Reimplanting the tooth with the fragment repositioned by turning it through 180 degrees presents a conservative treatment option that makes it possible to keep a tooth, at first indicated for extraction, functioning and with a satisfactory esthetic appearance.
