Conservative treatment in adult patient with reimplanted anterior teeth after traumatic avulsion with extensive bone loss: an 8-year follow-up.

INTRODUCTION

Orthodontic treatment in patients with traumatized teeth is a condition that needs good planning in order to achieve satisfactory results.

OBJECTIVE

To discuss approaches to orthodontic treatment of malocclusions associated with trauma followed by avulsion of anterior teeth, reimplanted after a short period of time.

CASE REPORT

The treatment started with the distalization of upper posterior teeth, with the aid of mini-implants and sliding jigs, followed by the inclusion of anterior teeth in the arch, followed by intrusion of these teeth.

RESULTS

With the treatment, improved mobility of the anterior teeth was achieved, with better insertion into bone tissue. The most important factor for satisfactory treatment and a good prognosis for avulsion is the time the tooth remains outside the socket. Orthodontic treatment in patients with traumatized teeth is not contraindicated; however, clinical and radiographic aspects must be considered.

CONCLUSION

Among the feasible orthodontic treatment options, the conservative approach can be a very favorable treatment alternative.
