Abstract
Introduction: Traumatic dental injury usually causes injury to hard dental tissue, periodontal tissue and dental pulp. Intrusion is the apical displacement of the tooth towards the alveolar bone making it susceptible to infection and fracture.

Keywords: Intrusion, Tooth injuries, Tooth avulsion.
