Complete intrusion of maxillary permanent central incisors

Orthodontic extrusion can be time consuming and has a long retention period, making cooperation a critical factor. On the other hand, it has also been shown that surgical techniques may be useful to extrude and save the root. Surgical methods need at least 3 week for root stabilization in new position. This is a case report of a surgical method to treat intruded teeth.
