Intrusion in a developing permanent tooth is an extremely complicated traumatic injury and is rarely seen in the permanent dentition. The damage caused by the trauma to the surrounding tooth structures results in a multitude of complications during the healing process. Careful repositioning of the intruded tooth by orthodontic means, revascularisation of the immature tooth to regain vitality, and periodontal treatment to provide the most acceptable aesthetic outcome are described in this case report. It outlines the treatment options to overcome the complications and variable outcomes. The present report emphasises the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to provide complete rehabilitation of a traumatically intruded developing tooth.
