Abstract

A 9-year-old boy presented with a missing upper front tooth after an accident involving kite flying. Diagnosis of avulsion of the upper right lateral incisor (22) was made after examination of his socket as well as by radiological investigations. A removable partial denture was given for the aesthetic purpose. The patient is under follow-up. The present case illustrates the management of avulsion.
