title: Decoronation as a treatment option for replacement root resorption following severe intrusive trauma: a case report.
abstract: This article reports a clinical case of a 13-year-old girl, who was referred with chief complaint of a non-esthetic maxillary central incisors position. Five years ago, her maxillary right and left central incisors and left lateral incisor intruded into the maxilla. The intruded teeth were splinted for a month. After splint removal, the patient lost follow up. The aim of this work is to report the successful conservative management of severe intrusion in developing dentition.
