Abstract:

Dental traumatic injuries are frequently seen in adolescence and youth, usually occur as a result of falls, sports injuries, fights and traffic accidents. Intrusion, also called intrusive luxation, is a dental traumatic injury that the tooth is displaced apically and embedded in the alveolar socket. Since it can cause damage to the periodontal ligament, bone tissue and neurovascular segment; complications can be seen in the follow-ups after the treatment. Pulpal necrosis and inflammation are the most common complications. Ankylosis, loss of marginal gingiva and bone support, external root resorption may also occur. The aim of this case report is to examine the long term follow-up of a tooth intruded as a result of trauma and to evaluate external cervical resorption as a result of intrusion.
