Avulsion and replacement of the tooth element fractured at the level of the middle 1/3: a case report. [Journal Article]
Dent Traumatol 2008 Oct; 24(5):585-8.


Dental trauma continues to cause loss of teeth, particularly in the anterior region of the maxilla. Reimplanting the tooth with the fragment repositioned by turning it through 180 degrees presents a conservative treatment option that makes it possible to keep a tooth, at first indicated for extraction, functioning and with a satisfactory esthetic appearance.
