Faria G, Silva RAB, Fiori-Júnior M, Nelson-Filho P. Re-eruption of traumatically intruded mature permanent incisor: case report. Dent Traumatol 2004; 20: 229–232. © Blackwell Munksgaard, 2004. This case report describes a case of intrusion of the right mature permanent central incisor. After gingivectomy and endodontic treatment with changes of the intracanal dressing (calcium hydroxide paste) every 30 days, spontaneous re-eruption was observed. We conclude that waiting for spontaneous re-eruption associated with gingivectomy and endodontic treatment is an alternative treatment for severe intrusive luxations in mature permanent teeth.
