Tooth avulsion is one of the most serious case of all traumatic injuries, frequently found in the immature permanent teeth. The common treatment for avulsed permanent tooth is replantation and splint fixation. However it usually results in root inflammation, root absorption and ankylosis, eventually lead to extraction. The present report describes a 8-year-old boy with two immature mandibular central incisors avulsed three hours after the accident. Replantation was performed, and the teeth were splinted. Radiographic and clinical examinations were performed during 15 months follow-up. At present, the avulsed teeth have a favorable prognosis, and remained in a stable functional position and did not reveal root inflammation, root absorption and ankylosis.
