Abstract: 
Management of traumatically intruded anterior teeth is of prime importance, since these teeth are so important both aesthetically and functionally. Management of these traumatised teeth differs according to the root apex maturity and the severity of the intrusion luxation itself. Pulp necrosis occurs in one hundred percent of cases involving intrusion luxation of mature permanent teeth with fully-formed apex and in 62.5 % of those involving intruded teeth with open apex. [7] [8] This case report aims to emphasise the importance of immediate orthodontic loading of traumatically intruded mature permanent teeth with closed root apex.
