| Popis: | A 12-year-old boy reported to the clinic with a history of trauma, whereas playing 1 day before. On examination it was noted that the patient had an avulsed tooth in relation to 11, Class III fracture in relation to 12 and Class II fracture in relation to 21. The avulsed tooth was brought by the patient wrapped in a newspaper. Although the tooth was in highly unfavorable storage condition, it was decided to reimplant the teeth since the patient was young and to relieve him from psychological, cosmetic and functional trauma. Now after 24 months, the tooth is, functional, firm and free of symptoms with minimal signs of resorption. Even though the long-term prognosis is uncertain, this treatment technique has proven to be an advantage for the patient in this growing period by maintaining the esthetics, by maintaining the height of alveolar bone and making the provision of an aesthetically acceptable permanent restoration at a later age if prognosis becomes poor. |
