– This case report describes the continued root formation following replantation and conventional root canal therapy of a traumatically avulsed open‐apex tooth with suppurative apical periodontitis. A 7‐year‐old male patient had an avulsed upper left central incisor (tooth 21) replanted approximately 50 min after traumatic avulsion. A root canal procedure was initiated due to pulp necrosis and periapical abscess detected in the follow‐up period. After endodontic treatment with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2 ) dressing, a normal root length developed including an apical segment beyond the hard tissue barrier. Regeneration of the root occurred without pathology or ankylosis at 1‐year of follow up.
