Abstract

This article reports a clinical case of a boy who underwent an avulsion of the upper right central incisor at 8 years old. The avulsed tooth was kept in the socket for 11 years after replantation. The clinical and radiographic findings after 14 years revealed a complete root resorption, but alveolar bone volume is adequate for future implantation from the recent tomography scans view, even in labial area where alveolar bone morphology is poor.
