– Dental trauma continues to cause loss of teeth, particularly in the anterior region of the maxilla. Reimplanting the tooth with the fragment repositioned by turning it through 180° presents a conservative treatment option that makes it possible to keep a tooth, at first indicated for extraction, functioning and with a satisfactory esthetic appearance.
