Facial trauma resulting in tooth avulsion results in problems of physical and emotional nature for the patient, parent and a challenge for the dentist. Avulsion accounts for 0.5–16% of traumatic injuries in the permanent dentition which can occur at any age and is most common in the young permanent dentition and in the maxillary anterior region. Re-implantation of the avulsed tooth is the preferred emergency treatment depending on the extra-alveolar period and the storage medium used. The biggest advantage of immediate re-implantation is the psychological boost to the child of retaining his/her own natural teeth. A case report of 13 year old female patient with a history of trauma to the anterior region of maxilla and avulsion of 3 anterior teeth is discussed. An interim fixed partial denture was delivered using patient’s avulsed natural teeth in a single appointment.
