ABSTRACT: Intrusive luxation defined as an axial displacement of a tooth into its own socket, causing a crushing of the vascular-nervous bundle as well as significant pulpal, cemental, bone and periodontal damage. It is the most severe clinical form of dental dislocation and has the worst prognosis. The therapeutic modalities depend on the importance of dislocation and on the stage of root formation. Passive repositioning or spontaneous re-eruption is reserved to the immature teeth in first intention; however, this passive method requires a regular monitoring. The purpose of this article is to report a case of an intrusive luxation of both upper permanent immature central incisors which re-erupted within 3 weeks.
