Abstract
A 15-year-old moderately built boy reported to the dental outpatient department with a complaint of pus discharge from the upper front teeth. There was a clear history of traumatic avulsion followed by self-replantation 6 years earlier. No dental treatment was taken by the child. On clinical examination the left upper central incisor was in torsoversion (anatomical labial surface on palatal side and vice versa). The child had probably self-replanted in torsoversion. Endodontic treatment was successfully completed, and final rehabilitation was done by a porcelain crown. The case highlights the excellent results of immediate replantation even when it is done by a child. It also highlights the value of school level dental education.
