– Here we describe replantation and transplantation as a treatment conducted in a 16‐year‐old patient following a bicycle accident. An avulsed left central incisor in maxilla was replanted after extra‐oral root canal treatment, and the lost right central incisor of the maxilla was replaced by a left lateral incisor of the mandible in the region of the fracture fissure. Follow‐up examination at 34 months showed validity of treatment, although slight evidence of replacement resorption in the transplanted and replanted teeth was revealed.
