Methods: tooth replantation 45 minutes after avulsion, endodontic treatment with 10 monthly exchanges of intracanal calcium hydroxide medication, followed by root canal filling using lateral condensation technique. Clinical and radiographic follow-up.Results: after 13 years of clinical and imaging control, tooth 11 presents aesthetically satisfactory function.
