Popis: An internal root resorption lesion in the maxillary right central incisor was treated with orthodontic extrusion to improve the surrounding soft and hard tissue. Simultaneously with extraction, socket preservation was performed. After 4 months of healing, guided bone regeneration was performed and an implant was placed. At the second surgical phase, a flap was coronally advanced, and a connective tissue graft was placed. The emergence profile was modeled with a provisional crown before the final crown. The result was successful and well maintained over the 10-year follow-up period. The hard and soft tissue levels were stable, and no signs of inflammation were observed.
