Abstract

A case is presented that during the temporary dentition; a trauma took place with avulsion of a central incisor. The patient attended consultation presenting mixed dentition due to the absence of the permanent incisor and the partial loss of space due to migration of the neighboring teeth. In the X-rays, retention of the incisor with vestibular root angulation was identified. Surgical exposition and the orthodontic traction with the Hawley appliance were made, correcting its position.
