• Abstract:

  In dental avulsion the tooth

  moves entirely out of alveolus, so that a service

  to perform reimplantation should be sought,

  preferably within the first 20-30 minutes for

  a better prognosis, if the tooth has been kept

  in a favorable condition. Thus, the purpose

  of this article is to report the case of a dental

  avulsion of a permanent upper left central

  incisor of a patient due to trauma, which could

  not be reimplanted for having exceeded the

  recommended time, service was sought 12 days

  after the trauma, and by the form of storage,

  in a dry cloth. The treatment adopted was the

  use of an esthetic device that follows the same

  principles of removable partial prosthesis, with

  the advantage of having used the patient’s own

  tooth.
