Early treatment of an intruded primary tooth: a case report.

The report is about a case of total intrusion of a deciduous central incisor involving a male patient of 14 months of age. Repositioning of the intruded tooth was performed 20 minutes after the trauma, followed by placement with sutures. Clinical and radiographic monitoring performed after 1, 2, 4, 9, and 13 months showed normal characteristics. We emphasize the development of preventive programs promoting parental awareness of the importance of looking for prompt care, resulting in a better prognosis.
