title: Management and Sequelae of Intruded Anterior Primary Teeth: A Systematic Review.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective of this systematic review is to analyze the various treatment modalities and sequelae of intruded anterior primary teeth.
  
  
  METHODS
  Electronic search in PubMed, Cochrane, and Science Direct databases was done. Hand search was performed using the reference list of chosen articles from electronic search. Three reviewers analyzed the articles independently, assessed the quality of the studies, and derived data.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Ten case series were identified from the electronic and hand search. No randomized control studies were available. In the observational studies treatment of intruded primary teeth ranged from conservative management, which includes waiting for spontaneous re-eruption as well as repositioning to invasive procedure, such as extraction.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Spontaneous eruption is a treatment option of intruded primary teeth in absence of damage to a permanent tooth. Surgical repositioning of intruded primary teeth has also shown as a viable alternative treatment modality. Extraction to be performed if complications develop.
