Sažetak
The frequency of dental traumas in children has been increasing. This work reviews a patient aged 9 who had the 2-day old fracture of the root of first permanent central incisor skewed palatinally 3 mm under the bone. The tooth was extracted, its canal filled with calcium hydroxide, and within less than 10 minutes the tooth was replanted and fixed by a metal splint. Daily follow-up did not show either pathological perioodontal changes or subjective pain symptoms. After 3 months the tissue density of both incisors was the same, i.e. the fractured tooth showed entire osteointegration.
