The patient was a male 18 year-old with a history of ill health presents three days after avulsion of the upper left lateral incisor as a result of trauma. The patient was informed of the possible failure of the treatment due to the time elapsed. In cases such as this one, immediate treatment is essential to achieve success. Dental re-implantation and ferulization were performed. The tooth was treated endodontically on two visits one week apart. Checkups were conducted which were quarterly at first and then biannual.
