Abstract
Replacement resorption (ankylosis) may be a significant complication after replantation of avulsed permanent incisor teeth. This report explains the aetiology, diagnosis, management and current treatment options in ankylosis and then describes an alternative surgical technique, intentional luxation and repositioning. This technique, in the presence of an acceptable root length, may be a realistic treatment option in adolescence until osseointegrated implants can be considered at the age of 18–20 years.
