ABSTRACT
The moment after the tooth avulsion, blood supply to the pulp is interrupted and
the periodontal ligament cells are exposed to injury from the external environment.
Complete healing is possible if the tooth can be immediately replanted and
favorable environment is created .A case of report of intruded and mobile upper
left central incisor due to Road Traffic Accident of a twenty-two-year-old patient is
presented here. In which, intentional extrusion traumatized tooth and then flexible
acrylic wire splinting was done to stabilize it. Previously there was no periapical
bone support but with nine months maintenance follow up bone has shown a
significant improvement towards healing.
